Supporting good health goes beyond the walls of a hospital or clinic.

Our annual report highlights milestones in our relationships with patients, families, physicians, organizations, citizens and communities during 2007. Inside is information about our financial performance and philanthropic activities. You'll also find stories about how the care we provide has improved people's lives.

As the largest health care organization in the region, Allina is committed to the practices of good stewardship and transparency regarding our financial resources. As we serve our communities, we seek to maximize the value of the services we provide through community outreach, community health programs and advocacy on issues affecting health.
