Essentia Health-Fosston (Minn.) is increasing its emergency department space fivefold with a new $12 million investment.

The expansion will take the ED from 1,100 square feet to 6,700 square feet, according to a March 26 system news release. The addition will improve patient flow and confidentiality, employee and patient safety, infection control, EMS access and overall efficiency.

The new addition will also include a new ambulance bay, rooms for patients needing behavioral healthcare, a new registration desk and updated equipment.

The project is expected to be completed in early spring 2027.
