Essentia in the news: Advocating for rural health care, lighting the lobby for childhood cancer, quadruplets

An exceptionally busy month of Essentia Health-related media coverage included continuing to advocate for access to rural health care by preserving key funding sources. Reporters also were interested in the “light the lobby” for childhood cancer initiative at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth, as well as some important investments at Essentia Health-Fargo.

Each month, we share a handful of our favorite Essentia-related stories on the Newsroom. Here are some of the September; please note that some of these stories require log-in credentials and thus may not be accessible for all:
