NorthPoint is excited to introduce our new "Main Street" corridor. "Main Street" is a single main hallway that connects the south entrance from Plymouth Ave N with the north entrance from 14th Ave N.
All services, including Medical, Dental, Behavioral Health, Eye Care, Laboratory, Radiology Imaging, Pharmacy, Human Services, and the Food Shelf are accessible from Main Street, or will become accessible from Main Street in the near future.
Some temporary walls are still in place while the construction team makes finishing touches. Thank you for your patience as we enter the final stages of our campus expansion!

Did You Receive a Good Faith Estimate for your Upcoming Visit?
If you received a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) recently, it may not reflect your newest benefits. Your insurance or Medicaid coverage may have changed or expired.
A GFE is not a bill. You may or may not be charged the full amount listed on the GFE. It lists the items or services that can be reasonably expected for your health care needs, and it shows you how much the items and services will cost. This is based on what we know at the time we make the estimate.
If you have new benefits information or questions, please call us at 612-543-2500 to update us over the phone. You may also update your benefits information on MyChart or bring your newest information to your next visit.
