@amarck65 Congratulations on becoming a Mayo patient. I was very impressed with my visits to Mayo and you'll find it's different than most health care centers. Here is a link to information on the free Mayo Concierge service. They can help you find accommodation and travel recommendations. They have a list of hotels with details on what they provide. There may be Amtrack service that can take you to Minnesota. Most hotels have free shuttles to the Mayo buildings, and Mayo has a shuttle between Hospital locations in case that is necessary. The Charlton building and Gonda buildings are close together in walking distance from each other. You may also see falcons while you are there because there is a Falcon nest box on top of the Mayo building (joined with Gonda) with2 chicks who will soon within about a month start flying. There is a dialysis on a lower level at the Mayo building about the falcons. Also directly across from it is the beautiful Plummer building with brass doors full of carved figures. The original offices of the Mayo brothers are in that building on the 2nd floor where you can see them during business hours. On top, a bell carillon that you will hear playing music.
