"Once we understood that we could give to Mayo and invest in our passion at the same time - our decision was made."

Each day I wake up, to be as good as I can be,
So when I look in the mirror, I like what I see.
The choices of the day are many; temptations will surely grow,
And the judge that's in the mirror is the toughest one I know.
On looking back on roads I've walked and places that I've been,
I hope that those with whom I've walked will want me back again.
So when the day is over and all the races run,
I want to look in the mirror... and know that I have won.
- a poem by Eugene Page, M.D.
"I have always associated Mayo Clinic with the best. My grandfather told me it was the best place to become a doctor. He was right."
"Mayo Clinic was clearly the best match for me in terms of training and mentorship. It has such a large outpatient population, and I was surrounded by experts in medical oncology and surgery. I enhanced my knowledge and education everywhere I turned."
"We think it is important for the next generation to understand what it means to give back."
