When we lived in Jacksonville, we were right off San Pablo Rd north of Mayo Clinic for 12 years. I am impressed with your photos because Mayo has changed a lot since we left in 1990. Our next door neighbor's son is now a doctor at Mayo. So glad you came home with good news.
Jennifer, it's so interesting to hear you lived there! We were there just after the new clinic opened, and during this most recent visit were so impressed to see the renovations that have been going on in all areas, including 4 new hospital floors on top! The attached hotel we used to stay in is now a several-tier parking garage. Thank goodness for their continuing research.
WOW! Healing for the spirit as well as the body...what a concept! The contrast between your description of Mayo is in high contrast with the medical care that is available--or increasingly, not available--to most of our population. It is a reminder of how our resources can--and should--be used to benefit our fellow species members, instead of purchasing luxuries for only a few...
I'm so happy that your news was good and your visit so inspiring!
I have been to both the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and the one in Jacksonville and had the same experience. I try to encourage anyone who has complicated or hard to diagnose health issues to go there if they can. Alway though of it as healthcare as I wish it was for everyone!
Margaret, I welcome your use of the words "for everyone", as the founding Mayo doctors envisioned. My impression is that the present-day Clinics still have that mission.
Not sure I understand your comment. When my husband worked for Grumman Aerospace they were known for flying their employees to the Mayo Clinic when they needed medical assistance.
To me, "credible" meant commonly available to all. But it's so interesting to hear that flying an employee to get the best care must have been (still is?) common. I'm learning!
Beautiful pictures. So glad that Sam got good news.
As always, zgreat to read Deda. but who knew she was also a great photographer? And. Best of ll, the good news about Sam!
That was a long, long time ago. I doubt that Northrup Grumman is as folksy as Grumman used to be.

I was happy to hear from Sam via text message last night re: your upcoming dinner plans.
I am doubly happy to hear that you came home from Mayo with good news.... Looking forward to being fired up by Sam's remarks 10/18!
Sheila, we'll see you there then!

Yes, Helen, it appears we're about to go backwards as a nation, as health insurance premiums double. May the public finally say - and show - Enough!

Wow! What a incredible facility. Glad you had good news.
Isabel, your comment makes me think of what it would mean if it were "credible". What progress we would have made as a civilization!
