The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) will hold a public hearing on Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. on the relocation of adolescent mental health beds from Allina Health United Hospital in St. Paul to Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.

In-patient adult mental health services will continue to be provided at United Hospital in St. Paul, with adolescent in-patient services being relocated to Abbot Northwestern in Minneapolis.

The hearing will be hosted by MDH?s Health Regulation Division to provide a forum for Twin Cities metro area residents to discuss the relocation.
