Gratitude built Mayo Clinic, which was established through the generous philanthropy of William J. Mayo, M.D., and Charles H. Mayo, M.D., and their wives, Hattie and Edith. They willingly gave their medical practice and the bulk of their personal assets to lay the foundation for Mayo Clinic as we know it today.
Today, philanthropy fuels Mayo Clinic's excellence in clinical care, pioneering research and commitment to educating future healthcare leaders. We honor the many grateful patients and friends of Mayo Clinic who, like our founders, recognize the transformative power their gift holds.
