Support St. Mary's Medical Campus
St. Mary's Medical Center has a new address, but our heart is where it’s always been. On July 31st, 2023, our healthcare teams safely transferred more than 200 patients from our legacy hospital to the replacement St. Mary’s Medical Center hospital—with incredible views of Lake Superior, the Hillside, downtown and East Duluth—patients and families experience the outdoors within our many healing spaces throughout the facility. The Essentia Health Foundation is committed to continue inspiring healing for patients, families, staff, and our entire community by funding the Rooftop Garden, Chapel, Women & Children’s, Heart & Vascular, Oncology, Hospice, and many healing elements throughout the facility. We invite you to make a gift in support of this healthcare journey. Together, we can inspire high-quality care close to home for our neighbors, friends, and families here in the Northland for years to come.
