We have a rich history of advancing health, professional practice, and care delivery through education and innovations in health strategy and policy, medical techniques and procedures, and product and service development. These innovations all come from high quality research that is persistent in its pursuit of better ways to take care of the health and wellbeing of Minnesotans.
These efforts foster partnerships with the private sector, resulting in new businesses, employment opportunities, and significant contributions to the local and state economy. The University of Minnesota, without question, is one of the major contributing forces to the state's economy and the state’s health.
