"As a health care organization, our mission is to save lives, to heal the sick, to make the world a better place. How do we respond after another week of tragedies and deeper divisions? I believe we respond by doing what we do best — bringing healing and compassion to our patients, to each other and to our communities. We respond by opening our arms wide in inclusion, respect and trust." ~John Noseworthy, M.D., President and CEO, Mayo Clinic
