Mayo Clinic gears up for Heritage Days
Monday is the start of Mayo Clinic's annual week-long Heritage Days.
This week I saw Mayo staff sprucing up the grounds and buffing the statues to prepare for the week-long bash. This year the hot event is the showing of the new documentary called "My Brother and I – The Founding of Mayo Clinic" that includes previously undiscovered footage.

Here are some highlights of the many, many things happening on Mayo's campus next week. We'll have a full schedule in the weekend edition and Jeff Hansel will explain the store behind the new movie in an article.
