Altru Health System Set to Officially Acquire Devils Lake Hospital in March

December 17, 2025 - 23:48

In a significant development, Altru Health System is poised to finalize its acquisition of the Devils Lake hospital by March. Initially, the health system aimed for a spring 2025 takeover; however, the timeline shifted as they awaited clearance from CommonSpirit Health. This delay was necessary to remove the faith-based hospital from the Catholic registry, a crucial step in the acquisition process.

The acquisition is expected to enhance healthcare services in the region, allowing Altru to implement its comprehensive care model. With this transition, the community can anticipate improved access to medical services and a broader range of healthcare options. Altru's commitment to providing quality care aligns with its mission to serve the needs of the population effectively.

As the March date approaches, stakeholders are optimistic about the potential benefits this acquisition will bring to both the hospital and the community it serves. This move signifies a new chapter in healthcare for Devils Lake, promising advancements in patient care and community health initiatives.
