Why?
“(In 1905) McClure’s Magazine…recounted the story of that country doctor and his brother, and of St. Mary’s Hospital, which handled more surgical cases annually than any other hospital in the United States, more than even the great Johns Hopkins.”
(The Doctors Mayo, Helen Clapesattle, p. 289)
Mayo Clinic’s Original Social Networkers
“By the end of the 1920s Dr. Will could say he had studied surgery in every town in America and Canada of one hundred thousand population or more, and had crossed the Atlantic thirty times.”
(The Doctors Mayo, Helen Clapesattle, p. 405)

… and is part of the DNA of healthcare!
Social Networking is part of Mayo Clinic’s DNA…
Social Media = Digital Social Networking
Once Upon a Time, Three Networks Dominated the Media Landscape in the United States
Every day, these guys would define the news…
... while local affiliates and newspapers sold scarce audience access at monopoly prices
Then one day Ted Turner launched the cable TV revolution...
And one of these guys invented the Internet...
The means of news production and distribution were democratized...
Twin revolutions fragmented audiences, causing major economic upheaval
• Hundreds of cable channels, exponential growth in Web sites
• Mass media came under economic pressure leading to
• Demise of TV doctor
• Papercuts
Until finally, the Big 3 TV share of audience crashed...
Big Three Others
Facebook went public at 20x the value of The Wall Street Journal…
WSJ (2007) ABC (1995) Facebook (2012)
…and has more than quadrupled since 2012
