Community Engagement Monthly Report: October 2024

Stuff the Bus – Community Event

Essentia Health was thrilled to partner with Lakes Area United Way to sponsor the “Stuff the Bus” event in the Brainerd Lakes area for the second year. This event helps students in the area get the school supplies they need for the school year.

Supplies were collected at the Essentia Health Sports Center in Brainerd and allowed colleagues to connect with the community on a larger scale. Kudos to all involved in this important event!

Essentia Health Supports "Dig Pink" Volleyball Event

Essentia Health was proud to be part of the recent "Dig Pink" volleyball game between Shanley High School and Horace High School.

All proceeds from the fundraiser benefits the Essentia Health Fargo Foundation – Cancer Center Fund, which provides essential support for cancer patients. Funds will be used to assist with comfort items, transportation, lodging, and other critical needs during cancer treatments.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this worthy cause!

Essentia Health Volunteers in Action

Kudos to our amazing Spooner colleagues who recently attended a Halloween event in Spooner to introduce residents to three new providers that joined the Essentia Health - Spooner team this year.
