Willmar Regional Treatment Center: 75 Years

35 pages. This document is a historical review commemorating a tradition of specialty health services in Minnesota at the Willmar Regional Treatment Center (WRTC) 1912-1987. WRTC began serving the community in 1912 as a state hospital for alcoholics. In the early years it had only two major buildings, a 500 acre farm site, and a patient population of less than 80. From these meager beginnings, WRTC has grown to a full service residential treatment center providing programs for not only chemically dependent individuals but also the acute mentally ill, the chronic mentally ill, emotionally disturbed adolescents, developmentally disabled clients and geriatric patients with mental illness.
