Our Vision

Fostering Healing, Building Resilience, Transforming Communities

Northern Pines is thinking forward. We are innovating. The recent global condition of 2020 was a big one. It caused damage. We are responding to that change with methods that try harder; dig deeper. We are innovating to bring about industry wide solutions by starting locally and thinking nationally.

We are also learning about the ways in which AI will impact therapy. There are great new methods that will be uncovered. Change is a constant. The reason for change is to move forward – towards good health.

The center was moved to new quarters over the First National Bank building in Little Falls. The two girls shown are Joan, left, and Janet McLaughlin, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gene McLaughlin, Brainerd.
