Olmsted County Public Health continues to prepare for vaccinations to expand into community healthcare organizations and critical infrastructure workers. We encourage businesses, organizations, and agencies in Olmsted County to complete the business vaccination planning form. This form will help identify all the businesses in the county and determine where the business falls within the phases and priorities. The form allows Public Health to quickly connect with the business once vaccines are available and we are able to administer to the various priority groups.

Priority groups are set by the federal government. Each state has set priorities about who gets the vaccine first, based on these recommendations.

We are excited to announce that there is a new history exhibit at Graham Park thanks to the generosity of Mayo Clinic. The exhibit features the history of the park which originated from a donation made by Dr. Christopher Graham, a Mayo Clinic founding partner, and his wife, Blanche Brackenridge Graham. We encourage you to view the exhibit inside the Graham Arenas at Graham Park during scheduled activities.  

The Olmsted County Board of Commissioners announced on January 19, 2021 that it is allocating funds to small business relief as part of the State of Minnesota County Relief Funding Program. A total of $3,388,968 in economic support to businesses and non-profit organizations affected by COVID-19 will be distributed.
