Central Sands Community Health Profile

The Minnesota Department of Health developed this community health profile in response to health concerns in a six-county region of North Central Minnesota (the “Central Sands” region). Community members and local and tribal health voiced these concerns in MDH’s 2016 visit to the area. The six counties included in this report are: Becker, Hubbard, Morrison, Todd, Wadena and Otter Tail.
