Lakeview expansion plans
A new HealthPartners Lakeview Hospital and HealthPartners Specialty Center
Opening in early 2028, our new HealthPartners Lakeview Hospital and HealthPartners Specialty Center will provide the space we need to grow with our community. From the new family birth center and specialty centers for heart, cancer and orthopedics, to expanded critical care and emergency capabilities, we’ll be ready to support you through every stage of life.
With this hospital expansion, those living in the St. Croix Valley, east metro and western Wisconsin will have access to a wider range of specialists and be able to receive essential care, closer to home.
Planned improvements bring specialty centers and expanded emergency care closer to home
The new hospital and specialty center will include large, state-of-the-art spaces filled with natural light, all designed to help patients and their families feel comfortable while getting the care they need. You’ll find specialty care such as:
- Birth center
- Cancer center
- Emergency center
- Heart center
- Outpatient surgery
- Same-day imaging
- TRIA orthopedics clinic and urgent care
With more than five acres of wetland, natural vegetation and buffer areas, the new campus will incorporate green space, trails, pedestrian ways and common areas. These connect the campus with the surrounding neighborhoods in a way that’s designed to complement the community while protecting privacy for patients and neighbors.
The new Lakeview Hospital campus means that people living in the St. Croix Valley, east metro and western Wisconsin will have access to a wider range of specialists and be able to receive essential care, closer to home.
The new campus will provide the space we need to grow with our community, including new family birth center and specialty centers for heart, cancer and orthopedics, as well as expanded critical care and emergency capabilities.

The care you need, right in your community
Located at Highway 36 and Manning Avenue in Stillwater, the new hospital and specialty center will remain part of the community we’ve served for more than 140 years while greatly expanding access to fast, convenient specialty care.
State-of-the-art design surrounded by green space
With more than five acres of wetland, natural vegetation and buffer areas, the new hospital and specialty center will incorporate green space, trails, pedestrian ways and common areas. These connect the building with the surrounding neighborhoods in a way that’s designed to complement the community while protecting privacy for patients and neighbors.
Like most hospitals supporting a community this size, the hospital will follow a tower design that reduces the overall building footprint and preserves the natural features of the site.
The design will improve efficiency for our caregivers and enhance room design and wayfinding for our patients and visitors. In addition, it will increase the number of patient rooms facing the wetlands that form a buffer between the hospital and the neighborhood.
The design also means that the loading dock will not be visible to our neighbors. The loading dock location will have a natural buffer for both visibility and sound dampening, which is created by an existing berm and trees.
