The history of the Mayo Clinic.

The Mayo Clinic was founded by William Worrall Mayo, M.D., (1819–1911) who was a medical doctor from Manchester, England. After moving to the United States in 1846 he set up his own practice in Rochester in 1863.

In 1883, a tornado struck Rochester, causing at least 37 deaths and over 200 injuries. Mayo was put in charge of treating the victims of the disaster and due to a lack of nurses, he approached Mother Alfred Moes. She was the founder of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Rochester, Minnesota.

After the crisis was over Mother Alfred Moes suggested that the sisters raise funds for a hospital and William Worrall Mayo agreed to provide the medical care. Saint Marys Hospital was opened on September 30th, 1889.

Initially, he started the hospital with his brother Charles but word soon spread and more doctors joined. By the 1880s the first specialists started joining the hospital and its reputation was built.
