HealthPartners hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the new HealthPartners Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, Minnesota, July 10, marking the next phase in the organization’s commitment to advancing health care in the St. Croix Valley.
Kraus-Anderson is the construction manager for the new six-story, 400,000-square-foot hospital and clinic campus. Construction will begin this summer and is expected to open to patients in early 2028.
The new location will offer expanded specialized services like a family birth center, TRIA Orthopedics Clinic, cardiac catheterization lab, cancer care and improved emergency and critical care. Designed with nature views from patient rooms, the hospital includes walking trails connecting to local paths and sustainable practices that preserve over 94 percent of wetlands.
The site for the new hospital at the northeast corner of Manning Avenue and Highway 36 was acquired in 2017. Design planning halted at the pandemic’s onset but resumed in 2022, with architects chosen by late 2023. Over the past 18 months, efforts have concentrated on design development and community engagement.
