MEXICO CITY — Médica Sur, the first international member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, and Mayo Clinic will deepen their relationship by working together to advance cancer care at Médica Sur. The new collaboration will begin July 1.

The expanded collaboration will initially be centered around enhancing breast cancer care, including diagnostics and treatment, with plans to add other forms of cancer and additional medical specialties.

"What has motivated Médica Sur to work together with Mayo Clinic fundamentally is sharing the same values and putting the needs of the patient above all else," says Dr. Misael Uribe Esquivel, chairman of the board of Médica Sur. "This new relationship opens an opportunity to benefit our patients in oncology, to provide them with timely diagnosis and treatment, starting with breast cancer."

Médica Sur joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network in 2013. Through the Mayo Clinic Care Network, select health care organizations around the globe access Mayo Clinic knowledge, expertise and resources. Newsweek ranks Médica Sur the No. 1 hospital in Mexico and Mayo Clinic the No. 1 hospital in the world.

"Médica Sur and Mayo Clinic have long shared a vision of working together to advance the quality and delivery of health care," says G. Anton Decker, MBBCh, president of Mayo Clinic International. "This new relationship builds on that collaboration to enhance care to benefit patients."

Mayo Clinic will take a comprehensive look at Médica Sur's breast cancer care and exchange best practices in various areas, including diagnostics, protocols, workflows and quality. The organizations also will explore ways to incorporate innovative technology into patient care.

"The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center is very pleased to collaborate with our Mayo Clinic Care Network member Médica Sur to assure that the patients they serve have access to outstanding, state-of-the-art cancer diagnostics and the development of individualized treatment plans that integrate cancer care delivered by multiple specialties," says Cheryl Willman, M.D., executive director of Mayo Clinic Cancer Programs and director of the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Médica Sur will remain independent and a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
