Updated May 2024

NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center’s mission of partnering to create a healthier community has made major advances over the last 7 years with our historic campus expansion.

As a community health center, social services anchor, and legacy institution in North Minneapolis for over 55 years, we are experiencing rapid growth. Now serving over 30,000 residents annually, an increase of our space allows us to meet the community’s needs.

To meet these growing needs, the NorthPoint Community Board has embarked on an extensive community development project surpassing $90 million, including an $87.15 million investment from Hennepin County. This community development plan not only provides new space for patients and clients, but also extends its reach into the community, providing major economic development opportunities, by working across multiple sectors including public, private, health, housing, food and transportation.

NorthPoint's newly expanded campus has been designed to integrate health and human services to address all aspects of our community’s health and well-being.

Our Campus

Current and upcoming features of the newly expanded campus include:

  • A 135,000-square-foot facility with additions to the north and south of the original 67,000 square-foot building
  • Continued Medical, Dental, Behavioral Health and Human Services
  • Expanded Food Shelf distribution operations
  • New Dental specialty services
  • Child Wellness Center
  • Spiritual Wellness Center
  • Wellness Studio for exercise
  • Café with grab-and-go food and beverage options
  • Teaching Kitchen
  • Community Courtyard
  • Greater environmental and conservation impact with a raingarden and on-site storage for stormwater reuse
  • Increased access to quality and innovative health and wellness services
  • More employment and economic development opportunities in North Minneapolis

Our Timeline

  • Phase 1 began in 2017 with the construction of the parking ramp and 5th floor at 1256 Penn Ave (which is now home to NorthPoint’s Conference Center and administration offices).
  • Phase 2 began in 2018 with the relocation of Estes Funeral Chapel and demolition of 1315 Penn Ave.
  • Phase 3 began in 2021 and has included the expansion of our campus on the 1300 block of Penn Ave N. In addition to expanding our ability to serve North Minneapolis, NorthPoint will work with Hennepin CountyAECOMJE DunnKMS Construction and TRI-Construction to ensure a continuation of services all throughout construction.

  • Economic impact: As the second largest employer in North Minneapolis, employing over 400 people with over 70 percent of employees having connections in the community, our campus expansion will further NorthPoint's economic impact in the community.
  • Conservation impact: With the support of the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, the expanded facilities will include infiltration gardens, which will remove 99.1% of the total suspended solids from their drainage areas, as well as 70.8% total phosphorous annually.
