Celebrating our Journeys

2006 Meeting

The 2006 meeting of The Doctors Mayo Society on September 8 – 9, in Rochester, Minn., was the venue for an inspiring blend of the art and science of medicine. A beautiful autumn weekend was the perfect backdrop for reuniting, reconnecting and reminiscing by colleagues and friends. Built around the theme, Celebrating Our Journeys, the conference delighted and inspired attendees.
