Why I Give: Morley Glicken

“When I was growing up in North Dakota, everyone knew that if you had a serious medical problem that couldn’t be treated locally, you went to Mayo Clinic.
What I can say without hesitation is that the care provided at Mayo Clinic is exceptional. By exceptional I mean medical care that is patient-centered, unrushed, clearly explained, innovative, evidenced-based, and warm and caring.
As a retired professor of social work and a former CEO of a large nonprofit social agency, I believe that when charitable giving is personal, it comes from the heart and it carries with it a powerful message to others … this is a place I believe in.”

“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. There is a human side that shines through everyone who works there, and as a patient that is something that contributes to and helps to make a successful recovery. 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.”
