And now, Albert Lea is home to the first MercyOne clinic in the state of Minnesota.
The Albert Lea family medicine and specialty care clinic. The new MercyOne clinic location is owned by ALHC and leased to MercyOne to provide patient care including a primary care clinic, visiting specialists, lab, and radiology. We built something here that could act as a guideline for other communities that are going to be facing the same type of situation that affected Albert Lea, said Brad Arends, President, Albert Lea Healthcare Coalition.
The clinic is open Monday through Friday and is located at the Northbridge Mall.

Seventy-six of Iowa s 82 critical access hospitals ended the last fiscal year for which they ve reported financial data with negative operating margins, new data IowaWatch analyzed revealed.
Only six critical access hospitals – those with 25 or fewer beds and designated as essential for rural communities – brought in more revenue from patient care than what they spend on providing that care, the data show.
“If you were vulnerable before this, you re more vulnerable now,” Kirk Norris, the Iowa Hospital Association s president and CEO, said in an interview this week.
