About Us

Our roots go back to 1886 when St. Cloud Hospital was built to serve the health care needs of people living in Central Minnesota.

In 1995, CentraCare was formed, which today includes eight hospitals in St. Cloud, Long Prairie, Melrose, Monticello, Paynesville, Redwood Falls, Sauk Centre and Willmar.

We also have more than 30 clinics, 11 senior housing facilities and seven long-term care facilities throughout the area.

CentraCare has grown to meet the needs of the communities and is now one of the largest health systems in Minnesota. This means we are able to offer the latest advancements in care, technology and treatments close to home.

But what makes CentraCare special is not our facilities or technology. It is our people. We live in the communities we serve.

We are neighbors, friends and family. And when you need us, we are here for you.
