The change in name and operating status will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014, though all operations will remain the same.
Mayo executives said the move will give a more complete and accurate picture of Mayo’s care. The change also means Saint Marys Hospital will no longer be designated as a Catholic healthcare institution, but the switch to non-Catholic status was approved by the Sisters of Saint Francis.
Mayo, Saint Marys and Methodist agreed to a common governance and management structure in 1986. Saint Marys has 1,265 beds, while Methodist has 794 beds.
