Heritage Days: October 1-7, 2016
Heritage Days is a week-long event at Mayo Clinic locations in Florida, Arizona and Minnesota, as well as the Mayo Clinic Health System. Its mission is to thank employees and volunteers for their service to patients, and to present Mayo Clinic values and history as an inspiration for our work today.
The theme for Heritage Days 2016 is “Defining Innovation.” We’ll explore the life and legacy of Henry Plummer, M.D., the “diversified genius” of Mayo Clinic – physician, engineer, artist and more. Dr. Will Mayo said that hiring Dr. Plummer in 1901 was “the best day’s work” he ever did for the Clinic. We’ll take an entire week to bring Dr. Plummer’s story to life!
