[Owatonna People's Press, September 21, 2009] The Owatonna Hospital on South Oak Avenue will close to patients in less than a month, and those in need of medical attention will be directed to the new 26th Street location. “October 16, at 7 a.m., is when we will stop accepting patients,” said David Albrecht, president of Owatonna Hospital. “Don’t show up at the existing facility after 7 a.m. or you’ll be making fast tracks.”
