Mayo Clinic is pleased to announce a gift of $10 million from the Horejsi Charitable Foundation to support Bold. Forward. Unbound. in Arizona, a capital expansion investment on Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus. This generous new contribution mirrors the Horejsi family’s $10 million gift to Mayo Clinic’s capital efforts in 2020.

“Our family has been deeply impressed by the extraordinary care and expertise at Mayo Clinic,” Stewart Horejsi says. “This gift reflects our belief in Mayo’s unwavering commitment to putting patients first and advancing medical innovation. We hope our investment helps Mayo Clinic continue its important work of providing compassionate, cutting-edge care to all who need it.”

This gift will touch every aspect of patient care at Mayo Clinic by improving patient outcomes and elevating the patient experience. Bold. Forward. Unbound. in Arizona is part of Mayo Clinic’s Bold. Forward. Unbound. physical plan to achieve seamless integration of physical spaces and digital infrastructure to deliver the care of tomorrow. It will greatly expand Mayo’s services for patients with complex health conditions, providing cures not available anywhere else. In recognition of this gift, the infusion center in Building 3 on the Phoenix campus will be named for the Horejsi family.

The Horejsi family's support will help us revolutionize healthcare delivery, expand access to advanced treatments and accelerate medical discoveries.
