For people in Rochester, Mayo Clinic's rapid growth in recent year has happened before our eyes.
However, it can be difficult to get perspective on the Mayo "forest" due to how close the trees are.
Here are few of Mayo Clinic's organizational charts from over the years to draw a clearer picture of its evolution.

In the 2017 chart, Charterhouse, Mayo Collaborative Services and Gold Cross all have their own boxes, which was not the case in 2010.

Looking at these charts shows that Mayo Clinic has certainly evolved into an entity as complex as any Fortune 500 conglomerate.
