Blending historical narrative with contemporary patient stories, “The Mayo Clinic: Faith-Hope-Science,” is a timely look at how one institution has met the changing demands of healthcare for 150 years and what that can teach us about facing the challenges of patient care today.

Featuring interviews with famous patients including the Dalai Lama and the late Sen. John McCain, the film tells the story of William Worrall Mayo, an English immigrant who began practicing medicine with his sons Will and Charlie in Rochester. The film features the voices of actors Tom Hanks, Sam Waterston, Blythe Danner, and Josh Lucas.
