Patient Stories

In order to protect patient privacy and confidentiality the photos below are not of an ODHC patient family.
*The name of these patients have been changed to protect their privacy.

Mr. C* is a gentleman with a progressive condition that impacts his mobility, and his ability to work. After losing his job, Mr. C moved back to MN to be closer to family. This caused relationship issues, frustration, and depression. Despite healthcare insurance, he was unable to find a clinic that could resolve his complex health needs. The ODHC care team worked together to relieve his muscle pain, weakness, and imbalance. Mr. C’s care coordinator referred him for individual and family therapy. His whole family now treats at ODHC: medical, dental, and behavioral health. They volunteer and refer others to Open Door. Mr. C believes that everyone deserves an affordable Health Care Home.

ODHC offers free dental treatment to children in 16 elementary schools in South Central Minnesota. Many of these rural school kids have significant barriers to traditional dental care. Hundreds of these children have never been to a dentist. The fluoride treatments and dental sealants provided are essential to oral health. Our dental outreach coordinator has treated many older children with extensive painful tooth decay. She feels strongly that this preventive care makes it easier for children to grow and learn. Basic oral care education and dental supplies are sent home with every child.

The school-based dental team treated 866 children in 2018

Amber* is a wonderful young woman that has been treated at Open Door Health Center for many years. She first came to the behavioral health office as a young adult with autism. Amber was struggling to find direction in her life. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and individual counseling with a licensed therapist, she has been able to find smarter ways to cope with her depression and anxiety. Since then, she has been able to pursue a degree in mass media and to achieve success at her job. Amber feels the staff at ODHC are both patient and kind. They took the time to help her find her true self. (Which we think is awesome!)
