Farm Medicine, Rural Health & Safety
National Farm Medicine Center
25 Years
The National Farm Medicine Center (NFMC) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006.
Established in 1981 in response to occupational health problems seen in farm patients coming to Marshfield Clinic, the NFMC
has focused on evolving issues in agricultural health and safety through its first quarter-century.
NFMC goals for the future include expansion of its competency in infectious disease research and rural
and agricultural health and safety, as well as becoming an excellent resource for professional training in agromedicine
and agriculture-related research. Anniversary activities
