@susan7656, it is always good to hear from members like you @katgob and @myoga and many more that Mayo Clinic Connect and its members provide comfort, information and support when you need it.

Thank you for mentioning the people who help monitor the platform. It takes all of us. I'll repeat a comment I made in the Holiday blog here:
- Sharing brings hope: Connect is open for the holidays https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/sharing-brings-hope-connect-is-open-for-the-holidays/

Volunteer Mentors, trusted fellow members of the community, are the backbone on this community. Meet the mentors and learn more about what they do here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/volunteer-mentors/

I also would like to acknowledge the vital role of
- Super Helpers who check in every day to Mayo Clinic Connect to see who might need a hug, tips, or simply a listening ear.
- Greeters, who make a point of welcoming new members who post for the first time. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/be-a-greeter-welcome-members-when-they-make-their-first-post/
- New members, who are brave enough to ask a question even about the tough and taboo subjects.

It takes a village to create this community. Together we do better.
