Altru Health Foundation received a $1 million commitment from Alerus to support Altru’s new hospital in North Dakota, Health Leaders reports. The gift marks one of the largest in the Altru Health Foundation’s history and is the first gift to be directed to the new hospital, the Grand Forks Herald reports.
After a break in construction beginning in April 2020, Altru resumed construction on the new facility, which is right next to its current facility, in October 2021.
The seven-floor facility is set to have space for 226 licensed patient beds and a 16-bed observation unit. The health system noted the design has a strong focus on innovation, technology and wellness. Altru says the new hospital is a part of a larger 25-year campus master plan. Read more.
