Essentia Health is honored to have hosted Wisconsin’s Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez in Superior Friday. “As the chair of the Health Care Workforce Task Force, I’ve been traveling all around the state of Wisconsin and talking to different health care systems and trying to understand what the challenges are and if they have any solutions that they’re using to make sure that they can attract (and) retain the health care workforce here,” says Lt. Gov. Rodriguez, who has a clinical background in public health. “And Essentia Health has a lot of great things that they’re working on. And being able to cross-pollinate some of those ideas across the state, I think, is going to be really interesting for the task force to be able to move forward.” WDIO: https://ow.ly/rlns50RwnVY Superior Telegram: https://ow.ly/WMtQ50RwnVT Northern News Now: https://ow.ly/GurV50RwnVW

A very special "thank you" to the St. Louis County, Minnesota Board for recognizing a major collaborative effort to make a healthy difference in the lives of Northern Minnesota youth and families! Last month, the County Board presented a Public Health Achievement Award to the Youth Mental Health Day Committee, a collaborative group recognized for bringing together more than 600 Iron Range ninth graders to increase student knowledge of mental wellbeing tactics and resources.

More than 400 physicians have graduated from the Duluth Family Medicine Residency Program since its inception in 1975. That means 400 talented clinicians prepared specifically to practice in small towns, which face a shortage of doctors and thus reduced access to quality health care.

“Our [Duluth, Minnesota] clinic provides what is considered the best care in ALS that one can receive, without having to travel,” says Dr. Amber Erickson, an Essentia Health neurologist. “Many with ALS, and their families, find it very difficult to travel as the disease progresses; we can meet these very complex needs locally with the most compassionate and knowledgeable team I have ever worked with.”
