History
The Dunn County institution originally founded as the Dunn County Asylum for the Chronic Insane (1892) and the Dunn County Poor House (later known as the Dunn County Home). During the 1940s, the two institutions became the Dunn County Hospital and Home. In 1972, a new facility that included a nursing home and a psychiatric unit was opened under the name Dunn County Heath Care Center.
