Mayo makes $100 million diversity pledge, local Covid numbers trend down & more

This week on the Rochester Rundown, we bring you highlights of a conversation on diversity and inclusion with Roshy Didehban, chair of Mayo Clinic Practice. It comes after the Clinic committed $100 million to address racial disparities on its campuses — and Didehban says Mayo still has work to do to reach its own goals. Plus, the latest on Covid-19 in Olmsted County and a farewell to two downtown Rochester businesses — on the latest episode of the podcast.


As a reminder, new episodes of the Rochester Rundown can also be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and other leading podcast services.
