Hello! On behalf of my employer, Mayo Clinic, I am here with a request updates to this biography of Dr. John H. Noseworthy, Mayo Clinic's former CEO. Fish and karate created this article in August 2018, and BrandonBigheart posted constructive edits in December 2018 and January 2019. The article is well-written and informative. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in its development. I have a few suggestions to help improve the article as a resource for readers interested in Dr. Noseworthy.

My draft below adds an infobox and a Career section, and I edited the introduction and Early life and education.

In the intro, I removed Dr. Noseworthy's birthplace (it's perfectly fine to stay if desired, but I noticed other biographies did not have that in the intro sentence), updated his advocacy, included major accomplishments as Mayo Clinic's CEO, and moved earlier roles at Mayo Clinic to Career.

In Early life and education, I removed material about Dr. Noseworthy's parents because it was sourced to Find A Grave, which is listed at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources as potentially unreliable.

In Career, I copy edited content from the live article and included earlier leadership roles, major initiatives as CEO, work with the Trump administration, advocacy, board service, and recognition.

John Harnett Noseworthy (born 9 November 1951) is a neurologist who served as the president and chief executive officer of Mayo Clinic from 2009 to 2018. A board-certified neurologist specializing in multiple sclerosis, Noseworthy is the former editor-in-chief of Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.[1] Noseworthy has advised the administration of President Donald Trump on health care issues.[2] He has advocated for research funding and telemedicine as a means to reduce the costs of treating patients, among other things.[3] Under Noseworthy's leadership, Mayo Clinic and governments in Minnesota launched the Destination Medical Center (DMC) initiative to advance Minnesota as a global destination for health care and wellness. Prior to his appointment as CEO of Mayo Clinic, Noseworthy held several leadership roles within the organization.[4]

Early life and education

John Harnett Noseworthy[5] was born in 1951 in Melrose, Massachusetts.[6][7] He attended St Mark's School in Southborough, Massachusetts, graduating in 1969.[8]

Noseworthy received his MD from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia in 1975. He interned at the Royal Columbian Hospital in British Columbia before becoming a resident in internal medicine at Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, a teaching hospital affiliated with Dalhousie University, in 1977. He moved to neurology in 1979 and in 1981 became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, again in neurology. In 1983, he completed research fellowships in pathology at Harvard Medical School, and in neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital.[9]

Career
Noseworthy joined the Mayo Clinic Department of Neurology in 1990,[10][11] and over the course of his scientific career contributed to more than 150 peer-reviewed publications in the areas of neurology, clinical practice, leadership, and access to medical care.[12] Noseworthy was the editor-in-chief of the journal Neurology from 2007 to 2009.[6] Under Noseworthy, Neurology began publishing weekly rather than monthly.[10]

At Mayo Clinic, Noseworthy held several leadership roles, including chairman of the Department of Neurology (1997 to 2006), medical director of Mayo Clinic's Department of Development (2006 to 2009), member of the Mayo Clinic Rochester Executive Board (2006 to 2009), and vice-chairman of the Mayo Clinic Executive Board (2006 to 2009).[13][14] Noseworthy was appointed CEO in 2009, succeeding Denis Cortese.[10]

As CEO, Noseworthy reorganized Mayo Clinic from a holding company into a single unit with one business plan and strategy.[15] During Noseworthy's tenure, Mayo Clinic's revenues increased to $12 billion and the hospital ranked No. 1 on U.S. News & World Report''s "Best Hospitals" list for four of his last five years as CEO.[16] He also oversaw Mayo Clinic's launch of its Destination Medical Center, a 20-year $5.6 billion economic development initiative.[15] As one of Noseworthy's final projects at Mayo Clinic, the organization rolled out its electronic health record system.[17] Noseworthy retired at the end of 2018 to follow Mayo Clinic's tradition of rotating top leadership every decade.[15]

Noseworthy advised the Trump administration on health care issues, including ways to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs,[18] national medical research funding, and the effects of immigration policies on patient access and doctor training.[19] Additionally, Noseworthy has advocated for telemedicine as a means to improve health care access and lower costs.[20] He said the federal government's policies have failed to keep up with state regulatory policies on telemedicine.[20] Noseworthy was one of 10 prominent hospital CEOs to author an article in Health Affairs about physician burnout.[21] Noseworthy and others called for health care leaders to make addressing physician burnout a major priority due to its adverse effects on patient safety, quality of care, and health care costs.[21]

Among his board service, Noseworthy has served on the board of directors for UnitedHealth Group, Merck & Co., and the American Academy of Neurology.[22]

Noseworthy's recognition includes: Alumnus of the Year, Dalhousie University (2005); honorary doctorate of science degree, University of Western Ontario (2012); honorary doctorate of laws from Dalhousie University (2015); Officer of the Order of the Orange-Nassau (2015); and Research!America, Geoffrey Beene Builders of Science Award (2016).[23]

Personal life
John H. Noseworthy married Patricia Ann Miller in 1974. They have two sons, Peter and Mark.[7]

With my aforementioned conflict of interest, I am here to see if other editors can make the above changes. Fish and karate and BrandonBigheart: If you are still interested in editing this article, I appreciate your feedback.

Hi Audrey at Mayo Clinic, thank you for doing this. It all looks reasonable to me, everything is referenced reliably and your changes are in line with what one would expect in a biographical article, so I will implement these changes now perhaps with a few minor tweaks.
