NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center’s mission of partnering to create a healthier community is taking a giant step forward. As a community health center, social services anchor, and legacy institution in North Minneapolis for 50 years, we are experiencing rapid growth. Now serving over 36,000 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. The project has unfolded in three phases:
- Phase 1 has been completed with the construction of the parking ramp and 5th floor at 1256 Penn Ave (human services programs, administration, and conference center).
- Phase 2 has been completed with the relocation of Estes Funeral Chapel.
- Phase 3 will be the expansion of our campus on the 1300 block of Penn Ave N. It began with the demolition of the old Estes building as well as the old Human Services building. The expansion will have a new north and south addition.
Once completed, the expansion of NorthPoint's campus will incorporate additional space that integrates clinic and human services.
This plan is a comprehensive community development strategy that leverages NorthPoint’s successful health, economic and social impact. The community development plan not only provides needed program space for patients and clients, but also extends its reach into the community, providing major physical and economic development opportunities, by working across multiple sectors including public, private, health, housing, food and transportation.
When the 30-month Campus Expansion Project is completed, NorthPoint will have:
- Increased access to quality and innovative health & wellness services.
- Expanded campus for clinics and programs.
- More employment and economic development opportunities.
- Greater conservation impact with infiltration gardens (with the support of the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization).
Features of the completed campus will include:
- Dental specialty services
- Food Shelf distribution operations
- Drop-in daycare
- Spirituality, Healing and Wellness Center
- Bistro Café & Teaching Kitchen
- Community courtyard
- And more!
In addition to expanding our ability to serve North Minneapolis, NorthPoint will work with Hennepin County, AECOM, JE Dunn, KMS 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.
