Lakeland Mental Health Center Celebrating 60 Years of Service

The Fergus Falls based organization provides outpatient mental health services for six counties in west central Minnesota. Serving over 6,000 people, Lakeland Mental Health Center has proven to be a valuable asset to this region.

Established in 1949, LMHC was one of the state's first rural mental health care providers. With emphasis on outpatient services beginning in the 1960s, moving away from impatient facilities such as state hospitals was a turning point for specialized individual care.

In January 2010, Lakeland Mental Health Center will relocate into a new facility off County Highway 1. LMHC's current facility has been purchased by Lake Region Healthcare Corporation.

Lakes Country Service Cooperative is pleased to have Lakeland Mental Health Center as one of our valued members.

Congratulations on 60 years of excellent patient care!
