The show will be hosted by Kathy Wurtzer, a renowned announcer, journalist and author known for her work on Minnesota Public Radio's Morning Edition and Twin Cities PBS.
She will be conducting in-depth interviews with Mayo Clinic experts and industry leaders, and the episode will highlight the importance of collaboration in driving innovation and inspiring possibility.

Guests included Mayo Clinic radiologist Jonathan Morris, MD, Beth Ripley, MD, deputy director of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning, Konstantinos Lazaridis, MD, gastroenterologist and Carlson Nelson Endowed Executive Director of the Center for Personalized Medicine at Mayo Clinic, and Gary Miller, PhD, associate dean for research strategy and innovation at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and director of the Exposomics Institute and Core.
“This is an exciting new initiative for Mayo Clinic,” said Molly Bewer, chair of brand strategy at Mayo Clinic.
“Tomorrow's Cure will explore the cutting-edge research, technologies and groundbreaking advances that are revolutionizing the future of healthcare. We are excited to showcase the physicians, clinicians, researchers and thought leaders who are driving these transformative advances.”
Jason Saldana, chief operating officer at PRX, added, “Mayo Clinic is a trusted source of information on something that affects us all: health. We're proud to work with the team to bring their expertise, innovation and commitment to advancing medical possibilities to listeners around the world.”
The eight-episode first season of Tomorrow's Cure will premiere on June 26, with new episodes available every Wednesday on all podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music.
