History
In February 2012, Allina Hospitals and Clinics announced it was changing its name to Allina Health, to emphasize its new focus on disease prevention and personal vitality.
On June 1, 2023, The New York Times released an investigative report alleging that Allina refuses non-emergency care for some patients with medical debt.[3]
