Invest in Our Nurses. Invest in Our Community.

In life’s most vulnerable moments, nurses stand as healers, advocates and champions of wellness—working tirelessly to save lives, improve patient outcomes and uplift communities with their care.

Nurses must continually adapt to meet the challenges presented to them in the face of an aging population, complex medical needs and evolving technologies. However, financial constraints often stand in the way of their growth and success.

You can support our Essentia Health nurses by funding resources in these areas of excellence:

• Education and Professional Development
  Empower nurses to pursue advanced degrees, acquire specialized certifications and stay abreast of the latest discoveries in health care.
• Technology and Infrastructure
  Equip our nurses with leading-edge technologies that enhance patient experiences and streamline day-to-day work.
• Research and Innovation
  Support nurse-led research that fuels innovation, enhances care delivery and advances industry knowledge.
• Wellness and Vitality
  Help establish wellness programs, holistic health training and support services to ensure nurses have the resources they need to thrive.

Support Systemwide Nursing Excellence

“Nursing, at its best, encompasses care for the body, mind and spirit. With this holistic approach, I’m confident more and more nurses will want to practice here for years to come. With our community’s philanthropic support, we can better fulfill our mission.”
