We have a music therapy program with a stocked library of tapes and compact discs. The gift of music often fills the house by those playing the piano in the living room. Song fests, caroling, dancing, and instrumental entertainment by talented house guests and volunteer groups from the Rochester area are favorite pastimes and are part of healing body and spirit. The Gift of Life Transplant House offers transplant patients and their families limited off-street parking. City bus service to the Mayo Clinic and the hospitals is available at the front door.
Cabs are available and guests quite often carpool.
RTS provides a complementary shuttle van to the Mayo Building and hospitals during the week. Rochester has an International Airport, and transportation is easily provided to and from the airport and the house. Most Mayo facilities are within easy walking distance of the house. It serves those waiting for a transplant, those recovering from transplants, and those returning for checkups or treatment. It is open to everyone regardless of financial condition, race, or nationality.
