Health Information & Online Library
At Olmsted Medical Center, we believe good health starts with great care™. We also believe the best care is possible when patients are active partners in becoming and staying healthy.
To help you take an active role in your healthcare, we provide free 24-hour online access to clinically reviewed information on more than 4,000 health and medication topics. While this information is not intended to replace a consultation with your healthcare provider, it can help you find answers to your questions and learn more about medical topics of interest to you.

If you are an Olmsted Medical Center patient, you will be asked to sign a “HIPAA form.” HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
