Northfield Hospital + Clinics and Allina Health have completed the approval of the sale of the Allina Health Northfield Clinic on Jefferson Road to NH+C as part of an agreement to strengthen local care and provide access to expert specialty care.
NH+C and Allina Health are on track to complete the transition of the clinic in September 2026. Current clinic patients will be contacted directly, with details from their specific clinician(s). Scheduling for appointments with transitioning clinicians will open in August for appointments starting in late September.
NH+C will be welcoming 30 clinicians from Allina Health, who will continue to care for patients in the same location, as part of NH+C’s independent health care system. NH+C also will welcome staff of the clinic to continue the excellent care patients receive from the clinic care team.

“It’s exciting for NH+C to unite primary care in Northfield and keep local the services that can be done in our community. This strengthens NH+C’s commitment to serve our full community with high-quality services for the entire lifespan,” said NH+C President and CEO Zander Abbott. “This affiliation agreement is an example of how two organizations can collaborate to create a stronger path forward together than either of us could do on our own.
“This innovative agreement reflects Allina Health’s commitment to providing care close to home, and our reputation for excellence in specialty care,” said Bill Evans, Chief Medical Group Operations Officer for Allina Health. “Health care today increasingly depends on collaboration to ensure resources are used effectively and patients have access to high‑quality care close to home. By aligning their strengths, NH+C and Allina Health are advancing a coordinated, patient‑centered approach that expands community‑based primary care while maintaining strong connections to specialty services and regional expertise.”
Clinicians in Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Mental Health and Sports Medicine will join NH+C at the new NH+C Jefferson Road Clinic in September.
“We’re excited to welcome these excellent providers, who will continue delivering great care in our community,” Abbott said. “These providers and their staff are exceptional clinicians, and trusted members of our community. They've been well-respected partners for NH+C for many decades. We’re committed to making this a smooth transition for them to continue providing excellent care for their patients.”
