November 03, 2025 By: Anthony Matt

Essentia Health is doing its part to make the holidays a little brighter for patients this year.
The Duluth Area Volunteer Service Organization is hosting its annual Christmas Gift Extravaganza on Nov. 6 and Nov. 7 at Essentia Health-St. Mary's Medical Center.
The event will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7, in the Mission Conference Room. Attendees can enter from the main lobby at St. Mary’s, located at 402 East Second Street, and follow the signs to the conference room.
The event sells holiday decor and gifts and helps our colleagues and visitors kick off the holiday season. Funds from the extravaganza are used to support patients. Proceeds from this year’s event will be dedicated to purchasing equipment for Essentia’s cardiac rehab program. All are welcome to come purchase items and help support this cause.
