Cultivating a community of engaged citizens, health care professionals, students, thinkers, and educators is part of the Destination Medical Center (DMC) vision. Exposing people to new thoughts, ideas, and entertainment is instrumental to creating that sort of atmosphere.

The vision of Destination Medical Center (DMC) focuses on downtown Rochester; however, its impact will expand far beyond the city limits of our community. DMC will have a ripple effect on the surrounding communities, Minnesota, and beyond.

What better way to grow those relationships than at the Rochester Downtown Farmers Market (RDFM)? Picking up a share from a community-supported agriculture farm for a family friend, I got an in-depth look at the beautiful ecosystem that results when all of these communities come together to share food, culture, and friendship.

Rochester Views from the Lady Pastor

General

DMC_teardrop_green_180pxEmily Carson is an active Rochester community member; she is a columnist for the Post Bulletin, as well as an ordained Lutheran pastor. Actively speaking and networking in Rochester, she is no stranger to the meaning of “community.” The Destination Medical Center (DMC) interviewed Pastor Carson about her perspective of Rochester and its future

DMC: What “makes” a community?

Pastor Carson: A community is a group of people with shared goals.

DMC: Why is the Rochester community unique?

PC: From very early on, Rochester has been a town rooted in good medical care. We are unique in that we are maintaining a foundation of good medical care while also expanding in a variety of directions: a thriving downtown, active arts community, diversity of religious expression, excellent education options, good access to quality grocery stores, and strong civic and community engagement.
