(KNSI) – Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge has broken ground in Alexandria on a new men’s inpatient clinic.
The facility sits on 13.5 acres on Lake Winona, the home of a former doctor. The organization had been looking for a site for several years before inquiring about the property of a former doctor who passed away in 2016. The children of Dr. William Heegaard say they think their parents would be thrilled to have the land go to help others.
Founder Pastor Rich says the community has been asking for a clinic of its own for a long time. Alexandria has hosted several galas to support the organization. “After each gala, people would ask
me, ‘When is it our turn? When are we getting a Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge?’”
When the site opens next year it will have 74 beds, split between licensed treatment and long-term recovery.
