At least that is my take. This would be a great question, and one that one get answered, to take to the Moffitt info center.

There is a Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I believe it is very similar to the one in Rochester.
The story about it's creation in Jacksonville is interesting. It seems one of the Davis family (founding owners of the Winn Dixie stores) was a patient at the clinic in Rochester. He was so impressed he offered to donate the land if Mayo would build a clinic in Jacksonville. I don't now of any arrangement for donations to buy equipment or if anyone agreed to finance and build. The rest, as they say, is history.
I am not swearing to the validity of the above. Maybe some of our members also from Jacksonville can shed some more light on this subject.
