Introducing Mayo Clinic Connect

Mayo Clinic LogoMayo Clinic Connect is an online community that connects people. Connect is organized into groups related to health conditions. There are over 50 groups, everything from About Kids & Teens and Aortic Aneurysms to Transplants and Women’s Health. Connect offers a place where you can share your story and find support.
