Rochester, Minnesota
With a population of more than 125,000, Rochester is home to Mayo Clinic and is a dynamic Midwestern city that combines friendliness and geographical compactness with a cosmopolitan flavor.
Rochester offers a stimulating combination of arts, entertainment and education, plus a four-season calendar of sports and recreation. Active civic music and theater programs provide opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.
Mayo Clinic is the first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group practice in the world. Doctors from every medical specialty work together to care for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy of "the needs of the patient come first."
Since its inception, Mayo has used art, architecture and beauty in surroundings to address the "spiritual aspects" of medical care. Guided tours of Mayo's museum-quality art colleciton including original works by Matisse, Warhol, Miro and Chihuly are held daily.
Rochester's International Airport is serviced by American, Northwest, and Allegiant Airlines. The Minneapolis airport, 70 miles north of Rochester, is serviced by all major airlines with a shuttle service to Rochester.
