Serving our community since 1899

125 Years of Care

Founded by the Franciscan Sisters in 1899, CHI St. Francis Health has a long history of serving Wahpeton, North Dakota, Breckenridge, Minnesota and the surrounding region. We remain committed to their mission of building healthier communities.

Vibrant Twin Communities

A river may run between Wahpeton, North Dakota, and Breckenridge, Minnesota, but these towns are closely connected by dynamic and growing communities totaling more than 11,400 in population. Here, residents enjoy the best of all worlds. There’s the comfort and ease of small-town living with ample services, shopping and activities. Located near lake country, outdoor adventures abound for those who enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, camping, biking, hiking and more. Meanwhile, big city amenities – including an international airport – are less than an hour away in Fargo, North Dakota.

Every three years, CHI St. Francis conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to better understand health and well-being at an individual and community level. Please consider taking this survey. It will only take about 10 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. If you choose to do the survey, your answers will be kept confidential and will be used only to answer questions related to the purpose of this study. There are no wrong answers to these questions, and your answers are anonymous. What we learn from the survey will be used to plan communication strategies to help people in your community.
