CHI - St Gabriel's Health

CHI St. Gabriel’s Health is a multi-facility health care entity which also includes Family Medical Center (a multispecialty clinic), Little Falls Orthopedics (a orthopedic and podiatry practice), St. Camillus Place (a 14-bed home for adults with developmental disabilities), and Alverna Apartments (a 60-unit, HUD-subsidized senior housing complex), all located in Little Falls as well as Albany Area Hospital & Medical Center (a 17-bed critical access hospital and associated medical practice) located in Albany, MN.

The cornerstone of CHI St. Gabriel’s Health is St. Gabriel’s Hospital, which was founded by the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls (FSLF) in 1891 and received its first patient in January 1892. The first hospital-only building opened in 1916 (portions still in use today). The hospital continued to grow throughout the 20th century until it reached a maximum of 124-beds in the early 1980s. The introduction of the Prospective Pricing System and changes in Medicare and other hospital reimbursement led to a gradual reduction in beds throughout the 1990s and eventually incentives related to becoming a critical access hospital (CAH) resulted in downsizing to our current license of 49-beds. St. Gabriel’s Hospital as well as its affiliated clinics and home health agency are certified by The Joint Commission, a national quality accreditation organization.

Family Medical Center is CHI St. Gabriel’s Health’s second largest entity with approximately 25 providers (physicians and mid-level practitioners) in the following specialties: family medicine, general surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics. It functions as a department of St. Gabriel’s Hospital and has locations in Little Falls, Pierz and Randall) and joined CHI St. Gabriel’s Health in 2010.
