CentraCare's Clara's House in St. Cloud has launched the first partial hospitalization program in the Midwest for children ages 3-5 who are experiencing mental health concerns [5]. Emmett, a five-year-old, was the first graduate of the program and was celebrated in mid-April [5]. His mother reported a significant positive change in his life after he was diagnosed with autism and ADHD and referred to the program by a school counselor [5]. Clara's House, run by CentraCare, has been providing mental health services for youth ages 5-18 since 2004, serving around 330 patients annually [5]. CentraCare experienced a 390% increase in mental health referrals for children under 5 between 2016 and 2020, leading the CentraCare Foundation to raise over $3 million to expand Clara's House for preschool-aged children [5]. The new program, which opened in February, is expected to serve over 80 children each year, providing early intervention and diagnostic assessments during crucial brain development stages [5].

CentraCare Regional Campus in St. Cloud is preparing to welcome its first class of 24 students in the fall of 2025, marking the first expansion of the University of Minnesota Medical School in over 50 years [9]. The campus anticipates reaching its full capacity of 96 students by 2028 [9]. According to Dr. Jill Amsberry, Assistant Dean, many accepted students have ties to the area and a desire to serve rural Minnesota, with some being caretakers or working on family farms, making relocation for medical school challenging [9]. This new campus offers these students an opportunity they didn't previously have [9].
