If you wanna get healthy, move on over to Rochester, Minnesota!
It's the home of the famed Mayo Clinic and the Healthiest City in the U.S.A-- That's the word from Expansion magazine, which is aimed at corporations who want to relocate or expand their business--The magazine came up with "health quotients" to determine which cities had the best quality and most affordable health care.
These quotients measured cost, quality, and availability of health care in over 300 metro areas around the country. Factors also included employer insurance costs, the number of nurses and hospital beds per 1000 people, and the number of community health centers.

10) Bismarck, North Dakota,

7) Cedar Rapids, Iowa

The 5th healthiest city in the U.S. Richmond, Virginia
4) Roanoke, Virginia
