▸ Mankato Clinic MENU A A A Home J. Scott Sanders MD Memorial Scholarship Following a courageous battle with cancer, in May 2006 the Mankato Clinic lost one of its most beloved physicians, pulmonologist and critical care specialist, J. Scott Sanders, MD. He was distinctly known by his patients and colleagues as one of the most thoughtful, caring, humble, and respected physicians of his time.
