Lena Fawson

The Woman
of the Hour

Lena S. Fawson is a Physician Assistant at Mayo Clinic, where she practices Hospitalist Internal Medicine and has found a special calling in high-complexity, compassionate care. She brings the same exacting care to her patients that she brings to every corner of her life.

At home, she is an adventurer, an artist, and an improbable accumulation of talents: she knits, sews silk pajamas, plays piano, harp, and cello, cans all manner of preserves, crafts soaps by hand, and is cooking her way through every country on earth — in alphabetical order, naturally.

She has kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland, wandered the Fez Medina in Morocco, watched the sun rise over Monument Valley, and somehow looked effortlessly put-together through all of it.
