Epidemiology
Some mention ought to be made of the Mayo Clinic's longitudinal epidemiology studies conducted on the population of Olmsted County. JFW | T@lk  10:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The medical community frequently references Olmsted County. The implied significance is that patients can be followed there in ways that they can't be elsewhere because the Mayo runs all the health care. Bakerstmd (talk) 00:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I updated the description of the Rochester Epidemiology Project slightly. Just as an FYI, Mayo only runs a portion of the health care in Olmsted County. The strength of the REP is the fact all the health care providers in the county collaborate (with extensive security measures in place) to create a resource for epidemiologists to use with a depth of information that doesn't exist elsewhere.
