Mayo Clinic network spreads into region

As part of an expansion among major health care providers nationwide, Lakeland Regional Health has partnered with the Mayo Clinic Care Network to share clinical information and collaborate on patient care.

As a result, Lakeland Regional physicians will have access to Mayo electronic consulting, Mayo databases on treatment, information on patient care “best practices” and conferences where complex cancer cases are discussed with Mayo members and physicians.

Lakeland Regional providers also will have access to Mayo Clinic libraries and archives of patient educational materials, according to a statement.
