CCM Health Moving Forward with New Childcare Center for Employees

Montevideo, Minnesota — CCM Health has received approval from the Montevideo City Council and the Chippewa County Board of Commissioners to move forward with the construction of a new childcare center for staffs’ children.

Health officials say the new facility, set to break ground this spring, will expand and provide much-needed childcare services for CCM Health staff, supporting the organization’s commitment to being one of the best places to work in the United States.

The $2.4 million construction project will replace CCM Health’s existing childcare facility, which is currently located in a portion of the ambulance building and is licensed for 31 children, with a waiting list. The new 5,000-square-foot center will accommodate up to 70 children, doubling CCM Health’s childcare capacity.

The new childcare center will be built on the site of the former Veterans Affairs Clinic, located across the street from the ambulance garage.

Demolition of the old clinic will begin in early April 2025, with construction expected to start soon after.

The existing childcare space in the ambulance building will be repurposed into a conference center and training area.

The new childcare center is expected to open in the fall of 2025.
