Our Partners

Arrowhead Health Alliance is much more than a unique partnership of five Minnesota counties. We are continually developing new relationships and alliances in our service area and beyond. We are always open to new collaborations and initiatives.

On this page you will find a list of organizations we are currently working with or have worked with in the past. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about AHA or would like to discuss working together.

AHA is made up of five counties in the region commonly referred to as the Arrowhead. The northern edge of this region borders Canada, while the eastern edge borders the northwestern shoreline of Lake Superior. All five counties (Carlton, Cook, Lake, Koochiching and St. Louis) are predominately rural with the majority of terrain comprised of heavily wooded and sparsely populated forestlands. The region’s largest city; Duluth, MN is located in St. Louis County along the north shore of Lake Superior.
