When I entered the facility in Rochester I was immediately eased by the arts Mayo deemed so important for us in our healing processes. Bravo!!! < 3 This made a difficult diagnosis, something I could walk with and learn through. Mayo's art, both fine and musical lightened my heart and lifted my soul. I have never met kinder, more in solidarity volunteers, any where. I am forever grateful to the Neurologists who helped me understand my life at 64. Today, five years down the road I can say that arts make ALL THE DIFFERENCE! I love the Mayo Clinic!

@paulalina I feel the same way. Art is very healing. I am an artist and used my own art as part of my healing as I went through spine surgery at Mayo. We like the same things. I like to kayak and hike, but 3 years ago, I broke my ankle, so I am a bit limited in how much I can do before the ankle complains. I also love horses and own one that I ride. I have been working on paintings and entering shows and when that all clicks, it feels great. What kind of art do you do?
