The Sister's Story: Saint Marys Hospital--Mayo Clinic 1889 to 1939

In 1883 a tornado devastated the frontier town of Rochester, Minnesota--with extraordinary consequences. Responding to the tragedy, a group of Catholic Sisters built a hospital in a comfield and asked a family of doctors to staff it. A handshake, not a legal document, sealed the agreement and symbolized the mutual trust that continues today between the world-acclaimed hospital and Mayo Clinic. This book tells the human story behind Saint Marys Hospital founded by the Sisters of Saint Francis and their partnership with Dr. William Worrall Mayo and his surgeon sons, Drs. Will and Charlie Mayo.
