WADENA — A public hearing is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 11 for the relocation of Tri-County Health Care’s services in Wadena to a new location in Wadena.
The Minnesota Department of Health’s Health Regulation Division will provide a forum for the greater Wadena community to discuss the relocation of services for Tri-County Health Care hospital from 415 Jefferson St. N, Wadena, to 421 11th St. NW, Wadena, beginning March 24.
With the new location, Tri-County Health Care will get a new name to become Astera Health.
