Founded in 1991 in Minnesota, Nystrom now operates over 46 outpatient mental health clinics across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa and continues to grow at a rapid pace. Nystrom serves nearly 90,000 patients and performs over 900,000 patient encounters annually, with services provided by its 1,500 employees (including approximately 1,000 clinical staff).
