Description

Our History

• Olmsted Medical Center began in 1949 in downtown Rochester as the solo practice of Harold Wente, MD.
• Opened in 1955, the Olmsted Community Hospital ended its county affiliation and became part of Olmsted Medical Center in 1996. It is now called Olmsted Medical Center--Hospital.
• In 2014, Olmsted Medical Center celebrates its 65th year of service to southeastern Minnesota.

What We Do

• Olmsted Medical Center is an integrated community healthcare provider known for convenient, expert, and personal primary care.
• Olmsted Medical Center offers more than 20 specialties.
• A not-for-profit organization, Olmsted Medical Center cares for patients regardless of their ability to pay, and in 2013 made community contributions totaling $45,086,470 (27% of total operating expenses).

Where We Work

165 clinicians and 1,200 staff provide healthcare services at 18 locations:
