"I have had personal experiences as a patient at Mayo Clinic, and all of them were very positive. I found the physicians top-notch, the nursing staff was warm and caring, and the facility was very clean. It's also within a reasonable commute of 15 minutes from my house. I also enjoy working for non-profit organizations and feel my mission and values align well with Mayo Clinic's."
