Why We Give: Andrew and Elizabeth McPherson

“Mayo Clinic never stops trying to be on the cutting edge of everything they do. When you face an illness, it is the type of organization you want caring for you. Continued innovation comes at a cost, and we are proud to be able to help fund some of that innovation. Mayo was there for us when we needed them, and we are honored to be able to give something back.”

"Tackling the toughest health care challenges is what Mayo does best. No wonder they are ranked so highly in so many medical areas. That’s why we decided to support Mayo Clinic’s mental health programs."

"To say the level of care at Mayo is unique is an understatement, and it is something I have not experienced anywhere else. When one hears that the patient comes first at Mayo, it is true. I have no words to thank Mayo Clinic. Mayo has given me the gift of extending my life. I am grateful that I can give back and know that in some way I am helping to make a difference.”

“Mayo Clinic is a special place — it’s the cohesiveness, competency and compassion shown by the doctors and staff and the immediate follow-up. The level of care is just so different, and it’s a pleasure to be on campus. All in all, it’s just such a fantastic organization. We believe in giving back, and it gives us such joy to give to Mayo.”
