"I cannot express how grateful I am for the compassionate care I received at Hennepin County Mental Health Center. The staff truly went above and beyond to help me through a difficult time in my life."
— Center Health Inquire (Patient Testimonial)"Great public health clinic. I've been going here for over a decade. I was surprised to see the negative reviews, so I wanted to post my take... As a public clinic that takes some patients without payment, the clinic sometimes sees patients who are going through extremely rough times, and I think a security presence can be helpful in those cases."
