Mayo Clinic in Times Square: Tue Sep 23-Wed Sep 24
This year, the world renowned Mayo Clinic is recognizing its 150th anniversary. Since Dr. Mayo first opened up a small medical office 150 years ago, Mayo Clinic has been offering hope to patients, and is a trusted source for people, including countless New Yorkers, looking for answers for complex health needs. Mayo Clinic has been behind many of the advances in the field of medicine which impact us on a daily basis, from the creation of the first blood bank to the discovery of cortisone.
As part of the 150th commemoration, Mayo Clinic is visiting more than 40 US cities with its mobile exhibit, a journey which takes visitors through nearly 1,000 square feet of multi-media displays, discovering how Mayo Clinic is pioneering the future of health care. The mobile exhibit will be in Times Square on Broadway between 42nd and 43rd Streets on Tuesday, Sept. 23 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. As part of their visit to Times Square, students will receive a special anniversary plush toy – Dr. Jack! They’ll also be able to chat with nurses and other health experts associated with Mayo about exploring careers in medicine (note: medical advice cannot be given, nor are the students able to participate in the complimentary blood pressure screenings). It will be a fun, hands-on experience for students and a bit of a departure from their normal science class.
