Mankato Clinic Thrives Fall 2022

Cathy Davis, MD

The Mankato Clinic Foundation Board is made up of physicians, staff and community members. This fall, the Foundation Board says goodbye and thank you to two members who have completed three, three-year terms on the board. That is the longest term allowed! Both women say they are proud to be part of an organization that has understood the importance of giving back to the Mankato area for more than 50 years.

Dr. Davis has been on the board since 2014, it seemed a natural extension to other Clinic initiatives she was involved in at the time. She has spent many years volunteering around the world in the Doctors Without Borders program, through the Foundation though, she can help those closer to home.

“It surprised me that there are so many organizations in our service area that are working to make our communities a better place. It is also surprising how much fun giving away money can be!” she reflects.

Dr. Davis acknowledges they often receive more requests than they can fund, so she wants all to know the decisions are not made lightly.

“The foundation carefully considers all requests and grants those that fit into the mission of the Foundation,” she says.

Dr. Davis also volunteers in medical mission trips to Guatemala and Mexico with other Mankato Clinic physicians and staff for the organization Minnesota Doctors for People.■
