Our combination at a glance
HealthPartners and Essentia Health have signed an affiliation agreement to come together as a combined nonprofit organization, working as one system to improve health and well-being across Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin.
We believe care should be simpler to understand, easier to access, better connected and more affordable — wherever our patients call home.
HealthPartners and Essentia Health are coming together to do more for the people who count on us. As two Minnesota-based nonprofit health systems with deep community roots, we're each doing a lot of good separately, and we believe we can do even more together.
