Blending historical narrative with contemporary patient stories, The Mayo Clinic: Faith • Hope • Science is a timely look at how one institution has met the changing demands of healthcare for 150 years—and what that can teach us about facing the challenges of patient care today. Not only does the film provide an exploration into the history and formation of one of the nation’s greatest medicial insitutuions, but it also follows the stories of patients who have come to the Clinic looking for answers — and hope. They include:
“The history of healthcare is a larger reflection of who we are as a nation. It includes advances in science and technology, but also touches on more universal themes of love and compassion.” – KEN BURNS,
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
