Why We Give: R. Halsey and Lisha S. Wise Family Foundation

"Our entire family is tremendously grateful for the care we have received at Mayo Clinic. That gratitude connects us with larger goals, including teaching our four children the importance of helping others.
Our family foundation is an extension of that, and it is rewarding watching our children — Hale, Olivia, Coleman and Harrison — grow through the years and bring meaningful ideas to impact the world.
With Mayo Clinic's advanced care at home program, we feel we’re supporting the future of health care. All of us interact with the medical community throughout our lives, and the technology component of advanced care at home just makes sense to our family.
Supporting Mayo Clinic is an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact, and that’s what we’re about."

"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.”
