Trinity Health (Minot, North Dakota)

During the early 1920s, Lutheran pastors from across the Northwest Territory gathered in Minot, ND, to sketch out plans for a hospital.[4]

In 1922, the Trinity Hospital Association was formed and within weeks ground was broken for a 30-bed hospital unit, the first of four such units to be constructed over the course of a decade.[4]

During the 1970s, Trinity Hospital merged with the Lutheran Home to form Trinity Medical Center. In the early 1990s, Trinity formed its own physician services department – Trinity Medical Group.[4]

On January 1, 1999, Trinity Medical Center changed its name to Trinity Health.[4]

In 1999, the Trinity CancerCare Center was built adjacent to Health Center-Town & Country.[4]

On May 3, 2001, Trinity Health merged with UniMed Medical Center, Medical Arts Clinic and Kenmare Community Hospital under the banner of Trinity Health.[4]

Trinity Health facilities include three hospitals, medical laboratories, medical equipment, eyecare, walk-in clinics, long-term care, pharmacies, physician services/care providers, community clinics, and wellness centers.[3]

In January 2009, it opened its CancerCare Cottage, a building which accommodations for cancer patients and their caregivers while they are receiving treatment at Trinity Health's CancerCare Center.[5]

In April 2008, it was reportedly considering building a medical park.[6] In January 2009, it bought 50 acres (200,000 m²) of land southwest Minot for a new hospital and medical park.[7][8] On October 31, 2016, Trinity officially sought rezoning of the land for the expansion from agricultural to general commercial usage.[9] In November 2016, it was reported that Trinity planned to offer $430 million in bonds to fund their expansion and to pay off previously issued bonds.[10] In January 2017, Trinity chose TEG Architects of Jeffersonville, Indiana to design and coordinate the construction of their new expansion.[11]
