Mille Lacs Health System Senior Care

Mille Lacs Health System is a community-owned, non-profit organization, whose operations are overseen by a nine-member Board of Directors comprised of members from the Mille Lacs community.

“To assist those residing in and visiting the Mille Lacs area in achieving and maintaining optimal health.”

In the early 1950’s, the lack of available healthcare in the region had become a growing concern for the people of the Mille Lacs area. As a result, residents were growing increasingly interested in building a hospital in Onamia. The Crosier Fathers and Brothers (a religious order of the Catholic church) were instrumental in deepening this conviction and encouraging action. With the financial support of area residents, work on a new twenty-eight-bed hospital began in 1954.

The new Mille Lacs Clinic of Isle opened its doors to the community of Isle, June 6, 1994.

Mille Lacs Health System remains a not-for-profit, community-owned organization. A nine-member Board of Directors comprised of members from the Mille Lacs community serves to direct and oversee the entire organization.
