Mayo Clinic is a part of the larger community. As a major employer and corporate citizen, we understand our responsibility to support community efforts that improve the lives of our populations. Many of our students, staff, and clinicians want to find individual ways to give back to the community. Below are some of the programs that Mayo has been involved with either through financial support or volunteer commitment.
