DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Once the new hospital now under construction is complete, Essentia Health has decided to demolish the current St. Mary’s Medical Center building.
The facility will remain open to patients into 2023 with demolition beginning after the new hospital tower is fully operational and services are re-located there.
The oldest part of the current building was completed in 1923 and given the high maintenance costs, renovating or re-purposing the facility was not a viable option.
A committee has been formed to work with a consultant in determining the best use of the property following its demolition.
