A new vision for health care<br />
delivery in Cannon Falls<br />
More than 50 years ago, the community of Cannon Falls knew that no city could thrive<br />
without the basics: good education, affordable housing, vibrant businesses and quality<br />
health care. Through generous donations and strong community support, the existing<br />
health care facility was built. The hospital doors opened in 1958 to a bright future.<br />
And for the last 54 years, the current facility has served the community well.<br />
Today, there’s more focus than ever on preventive, primary care. In addition to treating<br />
people when they get sick, doctors are helping to sustain good health. In addition<br />
to coming to aid in a health emergency, health care experts are more focused on<br />
preventing those emergencies and health problems. After an illness or injury, efforts are<br />
centered on restoring health. Happily, many are living longer, healthier lives.<br />
The picture of health care in Cannon Falls and beyond has changed dramatically in the<br />
last 50 years, and it requires a different kind of medical center.<br />
“<br />
We have an extremely dedicated staff in Cannon Falls who care about our<br />
community. They are passionate about delivering the very best health care<br />
to their neighbors, family and friends. This campaign is extremely important<br />
to provide the facility and the setting which will allow our staff to meet our<br />
community’s expectations for local, high quality care.<br />

A new chapter in Cannon Falls’ history began<br />
with <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> affiliation<br />
Seeing the dramatic shifts in the health care<br />
landscape, Cannon Falls hospital leadership<br />
determined that it was necessary to form a<br />
partnership with an organization that could<br />
provide long-term stability. Following a thorough<br />
examination of strategic options, Cannon Falls<br />
Community Hospital and Cannon Falls Hospital<br />
District chose affiliation with <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> in 2006.<br />
The benefits to the Cannon Falls community have<br />
been numerous, including:<br />
1. Ensuring the future of health care delivery in<br />
the community<br />
2. Providing consistent health care quality<br />
by taking advantage of the expertise and<br />
knowledge of <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong><br />
3. Making more services and medical specialties<br />
available locally<br />
4. Attracting quality providers and staff<br />
5. Sharing resources with other <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> locations for a more complete<br />
menu of health care services<br />
6. Having access to world-class medical care at<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> for complex health care needs<br />
Although the dedicated team of providers and<br />
staff in Cannon Falls has strived to provide<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> care to patients locally for six years,<br />
the aging facility limited some aspects of care.<br />
As an invested community partner,<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> believes<br />
you deserve more.<br />
Hallmarks of patient care at <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
When receiving care at <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong>,<br />
patients expect and deserve:<br />
• High-quality primary care<br />
• Access to consultations with<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> experts through outreach practices<br />
or telemedicine<br />
• Access to specialty care from world-renown<br />
experts at <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> in Rochester for complex<br />
medical issues<br />
• Availability of transitional care for long-term<br />
rehabilitation after surgery or illness<br />
• A facility capable of supporting both inpatient<br />
and outpatient care<br />
• Accommodations for highly sophisticated<br />
medical equipment<br />
• A facility designed for sharing knowledge and<br />
information among providers in geographically<br />
diverse locations<br />
• Provision for the highest possible level of patient<br />
comfort, safety and privacy<br />
Due to local community shifts, national changes in<br />
health care, as well as a renewed commitment to<br />
standardize care across all of <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>System</strong>, it has been determined that the aging,<br />
54-year-old facility can no longer adequately meet<br />
patients’ needs, nor can it sustain the full benefits<br />
of the <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> model of care.<br />
For the community and for patients,<br />
it’s time to upgrade the medical<br />
facility in Cannon Falls.<br />
What would this new facility bring to<br />
the community?<br />

The new hospital will provide the services needed by the people of<br />
Cannon Falls, and it will also be an integral part of the growth and<br />
development of Cannon Falls in the future.<br />

How a new medical center will benefit Cannon Falls<br />
The benefits of building a new medical facility in<br />
Cannon Falls go beyond the continued presence of<br />
dependable, high-quality health care. Benefits of<br />
constructing a new facility include:<br />
• Increased access to emergency care in timesensitive,<br />
life-threatening situations<br />
• Attraction of new patients from Cannon Falls and<br />
neighboring communities<br />
• Stronger viability of Cannon Falls as an attractive<br />
community to live and raise a family<br />
• Employment opportunities at the expanded<br />
medical center, including attracting high-quality<br />
staff who would like to work in a new facility<br />
• Overall positive impact on economic growth in<br />
the region<br />
• More opportunities to share resources and work<br />
collaboratively with other <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>System</strong> locations nearby, such as Lake City and<br />
Red Wing<br />
• More streamlined access to <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> when<br />
needed<br />
The vision is to provide high-quality primary care<br />
close to home, including adding more specialty<br />
services, with access to expert specialty care when<br />
needed.<br />
The story started in 1958, when community leaders<br />
had the foresight to open the hospital. It continued<br />
in 2006 with <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> affiliation, bringing<br />
expertise and knowledge in ways not possible<br />
before.<br />
Now is the time to begin the next<br />
chapter of Cannon Falls’ story.<br />

A new medical center for your community<br />
With patient needs in mind, a new medical center is<br />
being planned. Features of the new medical center<br />
will include:<br />
• Room to serve patients. When finished, the new<br />
medical center will be 80,000 to 90,000 square<br />
feet in a single facility. It will replace the current<br />
hospital, clinic, modular building and adjacent<br />
homes in use today, which are a combined 35,000<br />
square feet.<br />
• A broad range of clinical services. Outpatient<br />
services will include primary care, orthopedics,<br />
cardiology, urology, podiatry, otolaryngology<br />
(ENT) and general surgery.<br />
• Additional surgical space and services. A new<br />
operating room will be triple the size of the<br />
current space, along with an adjacent endoscopy<br />
suite for minimally invasive procedures. Surgical<br />
service lines will include orthopedics, podiatry,<br />
urology, otolaryngology (ENT), ophthalmology,<br />
endoscopy and general surgery.<br />
• Expanded emergency services. The Emergency<br />
Department will continue serving patients in a<br />
larger space designed to accommodate projected<br />
need well into the future. It will feature five<br />
state-of-the-art patient treatment rooms, and will<br />
include a comfortable waiting area for patients<br />
and families.<br />
• New space and equipment to aid recovery.<br />
Rehabilitation Services will have the room to<br />
add necessary rehabilitation equipment for<br />
patients needing physical and occupational<br />
therapy or cardiac rehabilitation following<br />
an illness or surgery, including patients in<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> Transitional Care.<br />
• Land for expansion. The medical center will<br />
be built on a 51-acre site to accommodate future<br />
growth and new services.<br />
• Convenient location. The site, which is on the<br />
south side of Cannon Falls off Highway 52, is<br />
adjacent to city services and the new highway<br />
interchange, offering easy access, high visibility,<br />
attractive views and convenient parking.<br />
• Patient privacy. The new hospital will have 15<br />
private rooms for inpatient care with ample space<br />
for families and visitors. Registration and public<br />
areas will be designed to accommodate patient<br />
privacy and comfort.<br />
• The latest medical technology. The new clinic<br />
will be built to accommodate state-of-the-art<br />
medical equipment needed to provide safe and<br />
efficient diagnostic and treatment services. This<br />
equipment will support both inpatient and<br />
outpatient care, and will help providers deliver<br />
new models of health care, such as long-distance<br />
in-room consultation with experts at <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong><br />
and remote monitoring of acutely ill patients.<br />
• Comfort and support behind the scenes. The<br />
building will feature the latest in data, electrical,<br />
ventilation, heating and cooling systems to<br />
support the medical technology critical to<br />
providing health care of the highest quality.<br />
• Attractive and serene spaces. The entire facility<br />
is designed to create a healing and healthy<br />
environment. The building’s interior and exterior<br />
spaces will be comfortable, bright, warm and<br />
welcoming.<br />
“<br />
It is very important to me to do<br />
what I can to make sure that our<br />
community is successful. I am<br />
grateful that I could offer my support<br />
to our schools, to our new library,<br />
and now to our new medical center<br />
— all very important projects to the<br />
future of Cannon Falls.<br />

The <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> story in Cannon Falls<br />
Looking to the future is inspiring, but sometimes<br />
looking to the past can be a reminder of the progress<br />
that’s been made. Here are the ways <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> has benefited the community in the<br />
last six years:<br />
• Safer, higher quality care. <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> in Cannon Falls achieved and<br />
maintained Joint Commission Accreditation<br />
beginning in 2010. This designation means the<br />
care in Cannon Falls meets national standards<br />
for health care quality and patient safety.<br />
• Access to experts at <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong>. Patients<br />
who have imaging tests such as a CT and<br />
MRI scan have results read and interpreted<br />
by <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> radiologists. This means a<br />
faster and more accurate diagnosis for you.<br />
• <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> is here to stay. Affiliation<br />
with <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> means increased financial<br />
stability, meaning a commitment to serving<br />
the Cannon Falls community long-term.<br />
• <strong>Health</strong> records are safe, secure and accessible.<br />
An electronic medical record system was<br />
implemented in 2011, linking Cannon Falls<br />
patients directly to <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong>. This system<br />
improves patient safety by alerting providers to<br />
potentially dangerous medication interactions, as<br />
well as allowing <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> specialists to review<br />
records for more efficient team care for you.<br />
• Patients receive the best <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> has to<br />
offer. Increased standardization across <strong>Mayo</strong><br />
<strong>Clinic</strong> means that Cannon Falls has implemented<br />
many <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> standards of care. This means<br />
patients get <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> care right here at home.<br />
• Patients can recuperate closer to home.<br />
Cannon Falls participates in the <strong>Mayo</strong><br />
Transitional Care program, which provides<br />
rehabilitation and hospital services for patients<br />
recovering from illness or injury. This means that<br />
when patients are discharged from Saint Marys<br />
Hospital in Rochester or another higher level of<br />
care hospital but are not quite ready for home,<br />
they can recuperate right here in your community.<br />
• Confidence in continual improvement.<br />
Joining with <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> means adopting<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong>’s culture of process improvement.<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> is always looking for ways<br />
to be more efficient, increase patient<br />
safety and improve quality of care.<br />
• A strong community partner. Even with<br />
limited space, <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> in<br />
Cannon Falls has added providers and staff<br />
while improving efficiency. <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> is<br />
committed to being a good neighbor, providing<br />
jobs and reinvesting in the community.<br />
