Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center, which opened in 2005 is a welcoming state-of-the-art facility that offers the latest in digital technology while embracing an architectural celebration of the American spirit. The building's peaceful gardens and paths provide a restful and contemplative environment for patients, families, staff and the community. "We are honored to have been selected as America's Most Beautiful Hospital by Soliant's website visitors," said Peter J. Bernard, CEO of Bon Secours Virginia Health System. "St. Francis, like all Bon Secours hospitals, is designed to be a place of both physical and spiritual healing. The hospital and the grounds were designed to incorporate natural elements like natural light, running water and foliage to promote a sense of healing and reflection for patients and visitors as well as staff." "There's no question that a hospital like Bon Secours St. Francis draws attention to the importance of a hospital's atmosphere," said David Alexander, president of Soliant Health. "When a hospital is designed with patient and staff needs in mind, the healing process can take place with improved morale and efficiency for staff members." Officials said there was stiff competition from a number of amazing hospitals this year.

How does a patient get seen at Mayo Clinic?

You can start with a referral from your Primary Care Provider or you can refer yourself, called a self-referral. Your first interaction with Mayo Clinic will start with our Central appointment desk. See the number to call or request an appointment online here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Getting your first appointment

I have so many questions about this. Do I have to have a PCP referral to make an appointment? How about health records? I have many problems, the most prevalent right now is swollen legs and feet and have been seeing a few doctors in my area but no one seems to be able to help. I have had sonogram tests (blood movement is fine with no clots), an echocardiogram (heart is working well), but my legs stay swollen and stiff. I also have terrible pain in my knees due to osteoarthritis and neuropathy in both legs (I have to use a walker). Must I diagnose myself? – how do i know which department at Mayo to start with? This is in addition to if they will take my Medicare and BCBS. Mayo has such a great reputation that I just feel they could help me get my life back. Thanks to anyone with any answers or ideas.
