Paula Quinn didn’t know if she would ever ride horses again after treatment for her aggressive cancer damaged her heart and eventually caused her to require a transplant. But beautiful, magnificent creatures were an irresistible draw.
Serving in the U.S. Navy was a formative experience for Leonard A. Lauder. The former CEO of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. — and proud veteran — is helping fund cutting-edge Mayo Clinic research that could benefit his fellow veterans who were suffering from back pain and spinal cord injuries.

Lionel Kankeu Fonkoua, M.D., is an oncologist with Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center who specializes in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. He is leading a clinical trial focused on the immigrant African and Asian communities of Minnesota with a high prevalence of one type of liver cancer.
Black people in America are about twice as likely to get Alzheimer's disease and other memory loss disorders. To better understand why, Floyd B. Willis, M.D., is helping the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center recruit participants into research studies.
Alyx B. Porter, M.D., a neuro-oncologist at Mayo Clinic, is focused on inspiring and supporting future generations of physicians from historically underrepresented backgrounds, with scholarships, mentorship, leadership development and financial wellness education.
Judy Ethen lost her father and brother to pancreatic cancer. Her own case was diagnosed and treated early through Mayo Clinic’s High-Risk Pancreas Clinic, made possible by a generous gift of $22.1 million.
In addition to caring for people before and after transplants, Brian Hardaway, M.D., has been both an organ donor and a recipient. He knows firsthand that good things grow when transplants take root. "You're following patients for years. Transplant medicine is like planting a seed and watching an oak tree grow."
