Altru Health System is a community of over 3,500 health professionals and support staff, and we’ve been committed to caring for our region for more than 130 years. Serving over 230,000 residents in northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota, we offer a wide array of services to meet the needs of community members of all ages and levels of health.
In 2011, we became the first affiliate member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network. Through this collaboration, our patients have access to the knowledge and research of Mayo Clinic experts. Our clinical integration enables Altru providers to consult with Mayo Clinic specialists, giving our patients convenient access to world-class care and innovative research while they remain close to home for their care. Together, we share a common mission to improve the delivery of healthcare through high quality, data-driven, evidence-based healthcare.
