One year ago, NKC Health joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, bringing world-class expertise closer to home for patients at no additional cost. Today, that milestone continues to deliver meaningful benefits for our patients, providers and the community.
“In medicine, there are many gray areas, and sometimes it’s helpful to have an extra pair of eyes on the patient to help guide decisions,” said Steven Kaster, MD, a gastroenterologist at NKC Health Gastroenterology. “Patients appreciate that they can access Mayo Clinic expertise while staying close to home.”
“This is a very new and novel aspect of care,” said John Park, MD, radiation oncologist and medical director of NKC Health Radiation Oncology. “Each consultation with Mayo Clinic is highly specific, tailored to each patient and documented in the chart. There is no cost to the patient, which removes a major barrier and allows providers to focus on what will help the patient most.”
