(Learfield) A St. Paul woman is honoring her late husband by making a $60 million donation to the Mayo Clinic.
The money given by philanthropist Helen Houle will be used to build the newest patient bed tower at Saint Mary’s in Rochester. John Nasseff died in 2018 at the age of 93.
He had been a regular supporter of St. Mary’s after his son had life-saving surgery there. Nasseff Tower is the first building on the campus to be named after a former Mayo patient.
