Mille Lacs Health System company history timeline

1956

The first patients were admitted on April 1, 1956.

Thanks to the hard work of many dedicated employees, directors, and trustees — and strong support from area communities — healthcare in the Mille Lacs region has become better and better since those first patients were admitted to the Onamia hospital in 1956.

The original hospital was built in 1956 and many systems and spaces have not been updated since then.

In order to serve the region’s aging population, construction of a forty-bed nursing home was started in the fall of 1961.

The first residents were admitted in the fall of 1962.

1977

The first Mille Lacs Area Health Clinic opened in 1977 with the help of a grant from the Robert Woods Johnson foundation.

A major addition in 1979 doubled the size of the existing home and provided a spacious activities room with a panoramic view of Lake Onamia.

1980

The first residents moved into the new addition in April of 1980.

1982

In 1982, a large-scale renovation and expansion was completed.

1990

Onamia and Isle Clinic merged with the hospital, in 1990, along with the hospital and nursing home, and Mille Lacs Health System was created.

1994

In 1994, as a result of community efforts and financial support, neighborhood clinics were built in Isle, Onamia, and Hillman.

Expansion and renovation of the remaining areas of what is now called Long Term Care began in the spring of 2003.
