Charles Horace Mayo, American Surgeon

Charles Horace Mayo (July 19, 1865 - May 26, 1939) was an American medical practitioner. Charles graduated from the medical school of Northwestern University in 1888 and joined his father, William Worrall Mayo, and older brother, William James Mayo, in their private medical practice in Rochester, Minnesota. The Mayos' first partner was Augustus Stinchfield. The private practice became the not-for-profit Mayo Clinic in 1919. At that point, the remaining partners went on salary, and the Mayo Properties Association was established. The world's first "integrated group practice" was established by the seven partners and staff. The Mayo Clinic came to be regarded as one of the foremost medical treatment and research institutions in the world. Within Mayo's lifetime it registered one million patients. Mayo specialized in surgery of the thyroid and nervous system and was also responsible for the clinic's ophthalmic patients. Mayo retired in 1930 and died of pneumonia in 1939 at the age of 73.
