Inspirational And Devotional Illustrations
The world famous Mayo Clinic had a religious origin. In 1883, Dr. William W. Mayo was a practicing physician in Rochester, Minnesota, when what they called a "cyclone" hit the town. Today, we say a "tornado."
Dr. Mayo was given charge of an emergency hospital for people needing aid. The Sisters of the Order of Saint Francis worked with him. Later, it became St. Marys Hospital and Dr. William W. Mayo its superior officer.
From those beginnings has come the famous Mayo Clinic today, with facilities reaching out to three other states in the U.S.A.
