Some of the buzz in Minnesota right now is a massive, $5 billion expansion at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.  Mayo Clinic provides world-class care and draws people from multiple states and countries...including celebrities!

Beyond the marble floors and walls of the Gonda Building at the Mayo Clinic are rooms with patients from multiple countries.  In all of the Mayo Clinic campuses, 1.3 million patients from 130 different countries are seen.  HIPAA rules are in place to protect the privacy of individuals receiving medical care but I just have to imagine the nerves and rush of emotions when a nurse opens a door to see a former President of the United States of America! 😲 or your favorite movie star!

Without violating any HIPAA laws, I managed to find a list of celebrities that Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, the largest campus, has helped throughout the years.  The stories that have been shared by these celebrities or family members are of gratitude.  But with any illness, sadness has also played a part in some of these celebrity visits.

Obviously, that isn't a full list.

I have heard about times when the Galleria and Subway level shops are closed to the public thanks to a high profile actor shopping.  I don't have permission to share those names...so...

I'm not asking you to break any laws but am curious if you know of other celebrities who have received care at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.  Maybe you've seen someone at a restaurant or walking around town.  Let me know who you know and send me a message over on my Facebook Page - Jessica On The Radio - or on Instagram.
