INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Rochester is also home to numerous quality hospitals and specialized medical facilities. Of course, the world-renowned Mayo Clinic has long been the cornerstone of Rochester’s raison d’être, resulting in healthcare dominating the city’s economy. For generations, the Mayo Clinic has been the preeminent healthcare powerhouse, each year drawing more than two million patients from across the globe. These patients and their families may stay in the city for extended periods of time, resulting in an influx of spending on accommodations, dining, and entertainment. The community has posted steady growth in traveler spending over the last decade (the only exception being during the COVID-19 pandemic), contributing to revenue growth for state and local economies. In addition, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester now employs over 41,000 people.
