By Karl Oestreich

Florida Times-Union
Cheers to Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa for his inspirational work to save lives in under-developed areas of our world. Florida Times-Union newspaper logoQuiñones, chairman of neurologic surgery at Mayo Clinic, is the founder of Mission: BRAIN, a nonprofit foundation that has done scores of complex surgeries — including procedures to remove brain tumors, reconstruct skulls and repair brain aneurysms — in Mexico, Peru and the Philippines. Mission: BRAIN — which Quiñones founded in 2010 — puts together teams of top neurosurgeons and other specialists, nurses, residents, anesthesiologists and many more medical professionals who travel to perform surgeries and share their knowledge with doctors in developing countries. It’s no exaggeration to say that Quiñones’ foundation is saving lives and providing hope that would otherwise not exist.
