As a northwest suburb of Minneapolis, Robbinsdale, Minnesota is home to a host of medical facilities, including hospitals, medical groups, general physicians, dental physicians, chiropractors, and medical laboratories, as well as veterinarians, and others.
An early medical practitioner was Dr. Donald G. Culp, who first came to Robbinsdale as pastor of the First Congregational Church in 1902. He began studying medicine in 1908 and opened a medical practice in Robbinsdale, where he served as general physician and surgeon for more than forty years.
In 1924, the Franklin Cooperative Creamery, formed through the efforts of a milk driver's union, established a medical clinic for the children of their employees, and customers paid the salary of a visiting nurse.
In 1926, Dr. Elmer J. Lillehei opened a medical practice in the upper floor of the Wiklund building on West Broadway Avenue. Dr. Lillehei practiced medicine in Robbinsdale for nearly thirty-five years.
Dr. Samuel Samuelson was instrumental in the establishment of Victory Hospital on land that he owned in Robbinsdale. When it opened in early January of 1940, the three-story building housed five operating rooms and had a capacity of seventy beds. Victory was the first general-purpose hospital outside of downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Opened in 1940, the first baby born there was Ann Therese Victoria Heil, born on January 6 of that year.
In 1954, Victory Hospital became North Memorial Hospital after it was reorganized as a private non-profit facility. Over the next fifty years, it grew into the regional medical center known as North Memorial Medical Center, operated by North Memorial Health.
Fire services in Robbinsdale began in 1909 when the community's first fire chief organized a bucket brigade. At that time, its apparatus consisted of a two-wheel cart outfitted with ladders, buckets, and axes.
In late January of 1925, a fire burned half a block of the Robbinsdale business district. The following year, an addition was built onto the south side of the village hall to accommodate a fire truck, a W.S. Knott fire engine built in Minneapolis, which is still brought out for parades and special events.
In the 1930s, the Robbinsdale Fire Department was the only one in the area, so it was called upon to put out fires several miles away.
As surrounding communities began developing their own departments, a mutual aid system was established with Anoka, Columbia Heights, Elk River, and Osseo after two large fires in the 1940a.
In April of 1949, a new fire and police building was dedicated.
Ambulance services are provided by North Memorial Hospital, which currently operates more than a hundred ambulances, as well as its North Memorial Health Air Care, which responds to emergencies and transports patients in Minnesota and parts of Iowa, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin.
