Ruta Kirstein, N.P.

I was drawn to Mayo Clinic Health System by the mission and values of the organization. The culture of compassion and inclusiveness promotes comprehensive, collaborative care for patients whether they are recently diagnosed or years out from completing treatment. In a time of great advances in cancer treatment, it is a pleasure to partner with an organization with a tradition of innovation and excellence.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, backpacking, paddling and bicycling.
