Mayo Clinic and the Minnesota Twins announced today they will work together to help improve the health of people across Twins Territory. The relationship will begin April 2 and 3 when Mayo Clinic presents the Exhibition Series as the Twins play their first games in Target Field against the St. Louis Cardinals (April 2 at 5:10 p.m. and April 3 at 1:10 p.m.).
The two organizations are teaming up to provide on-site health screenings and educational events before Twins’ home games, pregame interviews with Mayo Clinic physicians on health topics, and other collaborative efforts throughout the year.
“The Twins are proud to build a relationship with Mayo Clinic to encourage people throughout Twins Territory to maintain and enhance their health,” says Dave St. Peter, Twins president. “We are excited to work together with another Minnesota organization with such a strong tradition of excellence, teamwork and success.”
The content of the health screenings, educational events, in-stadium signage and print advertisements will center primarily around three areas: heart, neurosciences and orthopedics. The emphases will be on both maintaining and enhancing health as well as showcasing Mayo Clinic as the place to go when expert care is needed.
“Mayo Clinic is excited to work with the Minnesota Twins,” says John Noseworthy, M.D., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic. “By teaming up with the Twins, we share ways for fans to improve their own health and remind fans throughout the region that Mayo Clinic is close to home so that if you or a family member is faced with a serious health condition, we can help you find the answers you need.”
