Community Engagement Monthly Report: June 2025

Essentia Health Supports Boys and Girls Club of Hibbing

As the presenting sponsor, Essentia Health proudly supported the second annual Hibbing Police vs. Fire Department Charity Softball Game, raising funds for the Boys and Girls Club of Hibbing. The event drew a large crowd, with the Police Department winning 16–15.

Up to $15,000 raised will be matched by the United Way of Northeastern Minnesota, doubling the impact.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and supported this important cause!

Essentia Health’s Community Health team volunteered at Second Harvest in Duluth and presented a $105,000 donation to support its facility expansion, including a market-style food shelf and engagement center.

Second Harvest serves 78,000+ people and has received 175 patient referrals through Essentia’s Resourceful platform this year.
