Later this year, Hennepin County and Hennepin Healthcare will co-locate services and find new ways of serving residents at the South Minneapolis Human Service Center.
The building will reopen in phases throughout 2021, tentatively starting in October 2021. As services become available, they will be offered by appointment.
“The goals of the co-location are to provide efficient, effective service and care, create a safe and welcoming space for residents and provide easy access to services," said Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley.
“After a difficult year, reopening the Hennepin Healthcare East Lake Clinic will allow us to offer a trauma healing model of care, co-located with critical county services and community support, to a neighborhood that we have been proud to serve for more than a decade and plan to serve for many years to come,” said Jennifer DeCubellis, CEO, Hennepin Healthcare.
