TriCounty Hospital formerly known as Wesley Hospital began operation in 1925 In 1971 construction began on a new and modern healthcare facility directly west of the existing structure When completed construction began on an attached medical clinic known as the Wadena Medical Center

The hospital and clinic expanded again in 1987 1990 and 1992 A hospital wide interior image project was completed in 1999 That same year a healing arts program was initiated which involves the talent of artists and crafts people from area schools and communities In 2000 the OB Department expanded with the addition of a third labor and delivery suite creating a birthing center

In 2002 work began on a threeyear project to expand and renovate the current hospital The expansion included 28500 square feet of new constructions on three levels and was completed the fall of 2004 A new shared entrance for TriCounty Hospital and Wadena Medical Center welcomed patients and visitors adding a new dimension of convenience

The renovation of the existing hospital began the fall of 2004 and continues today Portions of the renovation are completed such as the new stateoftheart ER which opened in February 2005 the Ambulance Garage and the Chapel Other areas currently under renovation include Surgery Pharmacy Laboratory Health Information Respiratory Therapy and Wadena Medical Center
