No additional information regarding credentials is available at the time of this writing; however, the one individual polled to date by Rehabs.com rated the staff's level of training and experience three out of five stars.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The 45-bed New Ulm Medical Center campus is tobacco-free.
