About Dr. Richard Winters
Dr. Richard Winters is an emergency physician at the Mayo Clinic.

Episode Highlights
So, you worked in healthcare during the past few years … I believe “Gah!” was how I phrased my less-than-eloquent opening query about working in emergency medicine during COVID-19. “Healthcare has always been a place of volatility and uncertainty,” Dr. Winters explained.
Helping the helpers. As a leadership coach at Mayo, Dr. Winters’s work could be described in connection to the Mister Rogers quote about “looking for the helpers.” He’s charged with helping the helpers, “Ensuring that each level has the resources they need.”
“Leadership is culture,” Dr. Winters detailed. “It’s not just the placards and screensavers. You have to walk the talk.” For the Mayo Clinic, this goes all the way back to the founders and continues today at every level.
What brand has made Dr. Winters smile recently? “Song Tea from San Francisco,” is a brand that Richard loves as it makes him feel connected to the world.
