Allina System in Minnesota Drops "Hospitals and Clinics" From Name

Minneapolis-based Allina Hospitals and Clinics is dropping part of its name to become Allina Health, according to a Star Tribune report.

The name change has reportedly been discussed internally for several months, but is now being implemented publicly. Allina CEO Ken Paulus said a major reason for the name change is the 11-hospital system's new strategy.

"We're never going to build another hospital," Mr. Paulus said in the report. Instead, the system is renewing its mission by becoming a "health organization," including more home healthcare delivery and preventive care. "Yes, we're a great set of hospitals and clinics. But that's not enough. … We need our team to think bigger," Mr. Paulus said in the report.

Allina was also named one of Medicare's Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations in December.
