Dr. Lucinda Gruber, an endocrinologist with the fabled Mayo Clinic in Rochester, traced her career from growing up on a farm in Kansas to becoming one of 3200 physicians at the Mayo, with a growing percentage of them being female. Dr. Gruber is involved in researching genetic variations which can cause endocrine tumors at a time when the Mayo has plans to double in size and add even more facilities to its world-leading reputation.
