Re your correction: Julia, I can relate (St. Catharines born and raised, now a west coaster): When I applied in 2008 to attend the annual Science & Leadership patient advocacy training for women with heart disease at MAYO CLINIC, I too assumed it was located in Rochester, New York. Great news, I thought. I could visit my Mum in St. Kitts on the way home from Rochester! I was embarrassed to discover (after I'd been accepted) that Mayo is nowhere near New York state (or my mother!) ;-)

Last time I checked Mayo Clinic was in Rochester MINNESOTA, not Rochester NY.
