Essentia Health-Fargo Foundation

The Essentia Health-Fargo Foundation is called to make a healthy difference in people's lives by seeking support to provide the extra warmth and thoughtfulness to patients during a difficult time. The Essentia Health-Fargo Foundation is also known as the Essentia Health Regional Foundation.

Why Give?

The Foundation strives to enhance the patient's overall experience through patient-focused projects. 100% of the dollars raised by the Foundation go directly to initiatives in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Many of our projects help ease stress and/or financial burdens so patients and families can focus on healing.
