Allina CEO David Albrecht (can you spot 2 sheriffs in the picture)
On Wednesday February 7, 2018 we heard from the District One Hospital President David Albrecht. As we all know, District One was purchased by Allina Health. Allina Health is a not for profit health system consisting of clinics and hospitals and other health services providing care throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. He touched on many points, a couple of key ideas included what is a community hospital, what has happened recently, and what is coming in 2018 and beyond?
What is a Community Hospital? It’s a building, an employer, a place where physicians can provide care, and it is a community asset. Our hospital gives back, and promotes wellness.
Recently the hospital completed our brand-new Emergency Room, and now that District one is part of Allina, we have access to the best clinical experts, administration experts, new technology and insurance products.
Looking to 2018 and beyond DOH is working establish a culture of positivity, have growth in the market share, solidarity in Emergency room physician coverage and DOH is about to start the application for Joint Commission Accreditation.
Future capital needs include a first-floor major overhaul, basic infrastructure systems and new medical equipment.
How can we help? Choose a physician who chooses District One!
Thank you, Dave, for talking with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
