Grand Forks, N.D. – Altru Health System has announced plans to expand the current clinical space and services offered at Altru Clinic in Thief River Falls, Minn. This project, with completion expected in early 2019, will include remodeling and the use of additional space at the current clinic location.
Altru has been delivering healthcare in Thief River Falls for many years and recognizes the demand for expanded service offerings and is committed to meeting the needs of the patients in the Thief River Falls area.
The expansion of services in Thief River Falls will provide primary care offerings, x-ray capabilities, more medical specialists, additional space for therapy services, and expanded telemedicine offerings increasing the opportunity for patients to receive care close to home. “This project will improve access and improve the ability to deliver quality care to the residents of Thief River Falls and the surrounding area,” states Jill Wilson, Administrator, Clinical Operations. Further, Altru’s relationship with Mayo Clinic through the Mayo Clinic Care Network allows for special access to Mayo Clinic knowledge, expertise, and resources, affording patients with peace of mind knowing they have a connection to the highest level of expert care and knowledge available.
Altru Health System is a regional-owned, integrated system with a general acute care hospital, a specialty hospital, more than a dozen clinics in Grand Forks and the region, and a large home care network. It employs nearly 300 providers and 4,000 staff and has an annual net operating revenue of more than $550 million. As the first member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, Altru’s providers have access to clinically integrated tools extending Mayo Clinic’s knowledge and expertise to patients.
