Overview
Mayo Clinic Volunteer Services 25th Anniversary
Mayo Clinic volunteers serve patients and visitors with a personal touch.
Volunteers help patients feel more comfortable while assisting Mayo staff members.
Like everyone at Mayo Clinic, volunteers have a primary concern for patients' well-being, comfort and security.
Volunteers contribute to the Mayo Clinic mission in numerous ways. They reassure anxious visitors, support a caring but busy professional staff and help ensure the individual attention that Mayo patients have come to expect.
