Fargo Colleagues Attend 2024 Sweetheart Ball

Members of the Essentia Health Fargo OB/GYN team (Dr. Caitlin Pandolfo, Christy Woodard, Mandi Swanson, Dr. Jared Sander, and Tessa Hand) attended the annual Ronald McDonald House (RMDH) Sweetheart Ball in Fargo. Mandi Swanson serves as a volunteer leader on the Board of Directors for the RMDH of the Red River Valley.

Funds raised at this event support general operations and directly benefit families with critically ill children receiving support through Ronald McDonald House of the Red River Valley in Fargo.

 

 

Essentia Health Supports Active Living on the Iron Range

The Mesabi Fit Coalition recently opened the former Mt. Iron YMCA building providing a space for recreation and wellness for the region. Essentia Health Virginia Administrator, Sam Stone, and Community Relations Charlotte Belobaba presented the Mesabi Fit Coalition board members with $25,000 to contribute to the pool remodel.

This addition to the current pool area will provide the community with a space where they can achieve their health and wellness goals.

  

Essentia Health Volunteers in Action

Kudos to our colleagues in Duluth for volunteering at the Vita Nova house recently. Vita Nova is a non-profit organization in Duluth that aims to provide housing and supportive services to formerly incarcerated community members.
