Why We Give: B. Vittal Shenoy, M.D., and Maya B. Shenoy

Mayo Clinic’s pillars of patient care, education and research reflect and inculcate core values requisite in health care sciences and humanity. Mayo Clinic’s philosophy of practice mirrors the Sanskrit term for the Buddhist concept of mudita (contentment from selfless and compassionate action to bring happiness to or relieve suffering of others). These principles and our personal experiences over the last 37 years at Mayo Clinic motivate our continuing support of Mayo Foundation. ■
