James, what a great gift you have. Sharing this talent in the way you do is what sets Mayo Clinic and its employees apart from other healthcare organizations. Thanks for making a difference in our patients’ lives.
This is fantastic and a great way to give the gift of a smile to your patients! I truly believe it’s the small things like this that make a BIG difference. Keep up the great work! I am drawing inspiration from your work… no pun intended =).
Jimmy, was my next door neighbors Son!,Jim is a fine young Man…..He grew up without alot of things Young men have Today! He was such a nice kid willing to help and do alot of things, in and around the neighborhood! Talking to him one time, i said i wanted a certain picture on my Bike Tank….next thing i knew Jimmy had something drawn up! I believe Jim was maybe 12 years old at the time!So i let him put his hand drawn art on my tank (and its there to this Day)I am proud Jimmy of what you have become! But most proud of knowing you first hand! And the things you are doing to make this world just a little better place…………
I sure would have liked to have him draw on my hospital wall after knee surgery.
James found a way to really, truly individualize patient care in a way that is uniquely his own, and that not only reflects positively on James for using his creativity, but also on his colleagues and his supervisor for supporting him in breaking the mold. What a great story. Thanks for sharing it.

This is so wonderful. James Rase, you are one amazing person, I can just see the joy in patients’ faces when you draw and they have a unique photo about them to gaze upon. You light up their lives!
