Rochester, Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic reported revenue of $17.9 billion in 2023, outpacing expenses by over $1 billion and resulting in what the health system called a “mission-sustaining” 6% operating margin.
The revenue figure, which compared with $16.3 billion in 2022, included investments totaling $536 million which were used to support current operating activities, the health system recently reported in financial disclosures.
The organization saw its net medical service revenue grow 8.8% year over year to $15.1 billion.
Though revenue outpaced expenses, the health system's expenses were up 7.4% compared to 2022, totaling $16.9 billion for the year. Mayo Clinic said it welcomed 14,000 new staffing roles into the system in 2023, up almost 5% from 2022.
Mayo Clinic invested in $10.5 billion in staff salaries and benefits in 2023, according to the health system.
The health system also involved itself in a record-breaking 2,500 clinical trials during the calendar year and put $1.18 billion toward capital expenditure projects.
“By every measure, Mayo Clinic made excellent progress in 2023 towards our goal of creating a better healthcare system for the United States and globally,” Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., Mayo Clinic president and CEO, said in a statement.
During 2023, Mayo Clinic announced the largest capital investment in its history with its "Bold. Forward. Unbound. in Rochester" project which will create innovative spaces to research developing healthcare technologies.
