A rural Minnesota health system is rebranding as part of its affiliation with St. Cloud, Minn.-based CentraCare.
Benson-based Swift County Benson Health Services will be renamed CentraCare — Benson starting Jan. 1. Patients will notice the change on medical bills, when calling the health system's hospital or clinic, or logging into their Epic EHR MyChart patient portal.
"As we begin our affiliation with CentraCare, we will also be connected through one unified name as CentraCare — Benson," said Melissa McGinty Thompson, RN, BSN, co-CEO of Swift County Benson Health Services, in a Dec. 15 health system news release shared with Becker's. "But rest assured, the exceptional staff that you know and trust will be here providing great healthcare supported by a system of resources and expertise in CentraCare."
CentraCare has nine hospitals and more than 30 clinics across central and southern Minnesota.
