It should come as no surprise that quality health care is the core of the Rochester community. In fact, Rochester is considered by many to be synonymous with “exceptional healthcare.” With Rochester being the birthplace of Mayo Clinic, the largest private sector employer in Minnesota, the region of Olmsted county has the second largest number of health care workers as a percentage of private sector employment in the country. Mayo Clinic has been an innovative leader in health care since its founding more than 150 years ago and has repeatedly earned the #1 ranking as “Best Hospital” nationwide by U.S. News & World Report.
In addition to treating common emergent and urgent medical conditions, Mayo’s Department of Emergency Medicine in Rochester also provides Level 1 Trauma services, providing care to those with extremely severe injuries. And while patient care is at the forefront of Mayo Clinic’s programs and services, the organization’s world-renowned research center allows researchers to investigate a vast array of medical maladies including Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, bipolar disorder, and traumatic brain injuries, to name a few.
