Welcome to Owatonna Hospital
A dream fulfilled
Owatonna Hospital has a long tradition of providing quality health care for people living in Steele County and its surrounding communities. It's grown from a small city hospital nearly 110 years ago to a comprehensive, high quality, regional medical facility.
Owatonna Hospital offers a full spectrum of services for residents of the region, with specialties in surgery and trauma care. Part of Allina Hospitals & Clinics, Owatonna Hospital brings together expert staff and leading-edge technology in a healing, family-centered environment.
The new hospital's family-centered design features private rooms, complete with sleeper chairs for family members, and private corridors and elevators to move patients to and from their rooms.
Owatonna Hospital was also designed with patient healing in mind. All inpatient rooms enjoy a view to the outside. Walking trails, outdoor gardens and patio provide opportunities for patients and their families to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
