History

edit

In February 2012, Allina Hospitals and Clinics announced it was changing its name to Allina Health, to emphasize its new focus on disease prevention and personal vitality.

Allina Health had 29,382 employees in 2018.

On February 9, 2021, a mass shooting and bombing occurred at an Allina Health clinic in Buffalo, Minnesota, leaving one person dead and four critically injured.[2]

On June 1, 2023, The New York Times released an investigative report alleging that Allina refuses non-emergency care for some patients with medical debt.[3]
