Essentia Health

Our volunteers are unique people of all ages from varied backgrounds, with different abilities and motivations behind their interest in volunteering. However, our volunteers share a common goal: an interest in helping others and a commitment to serving. The dedication, time and efforts of our volunteers are greatly appreciated by Essentia Health staff, patients, families, and visitors.
