About us
Keeping our communities healthy since 1951
Since the day our doors opened over 70 years ago, we’ve been committed to providing exceptional medical care with small-town heart. Many of the services one would expect in a larger city can be found here – and now that we’ve joined the HealthPartners care system, you and your family have access to an even wider network of care.
Through your one common medical record, your health team can coordinate the care you need in a seamless experience. Whether you meet with a doctor at our state-of-the-art health campus in Olivia or schedule a video visit with a specialist in the Twin Cities, you’ll have convenient access to the quality care and services you deserve.
"Best experience I’ve had at a hospital. I plan to have all my health care done at Olivia Hospital & Clinic. Professional and friendly care."
You deserve the best care available. Our team of women’s health specialists provides outstanding care for pregnancy, family planning and preventive care.
The Olivia Hospital & Clinic Foundation works to enhance the patient experience and enrich the well-being of our community. Through scholarships, local health programs, enriched patient care at Olivia Hospital & Clinic, and much more, we’re redefining what excellent rural health care looks like.
We work hard to provide the best possible care for every single patient who comes through our doors. We’re honored to be recognized for our quality of care, safety and organizational culture. We’re also honored to be a part of HealthPartners, which has been named a Top 15 Health System in the nation by IBM Watson Health.
