About Mayo Clinic

Mary Hedges is a general internist in Mayo Clinic's Division of Community Internal Medicine in Jacksonville, which provides primary care for local patients aged 16 and older. Mayo lists her interests as medical education and internal medicine and names no menopause or hormone service for her. Menopause patients at Mayo in Jacksonville are routed to a separate Women's Health Specialty Clinic, and she is not listed among its clinicians. She has belonged to The Menopause Society since 2021 and was first author on a 2026 study of what people in perimenopause actually experience, drawn from more than 17,000 people in 158 countries. Her Mayo bio also records recognition for a paper she co-authored on menopause in the workplace. Care runs the way Mayo primary care runs, with one provider leading a team of residents, nurses and schedulers, and test results returned through the patient portal within about seven business days.

The in-network list is Mayo Clinic's own roster for its Florida campus rather than one her office publishes, and that campus takes Florida Medicaid only for transplant care.
