History

Grand Itasca’s deep roots in our community date back to the logging camps and the booming paper mill in Grand Rapids and surrounding areas. In the late 1800s, the Sisters of St. Benedict opened a hospital here, but it closed in 1912. With a growing need for health care, the community worked together to open Minnesota’s first independent, locally-funded hospital in 1918. More than 100 years later, Grand Itasca is still thriving.
