Meet our colleague Sheila Dahlman, an ultrasound sonographer who leads a team of nine compassionate colleagues at Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd, Minnesota. Sheila's favorite part of her mission is being the positive difference in someone's care experience, and treating her patients with dignity and respect.

“We’re thrilled to welcome these new health care providers to Essentia Health to join the team in serving our patients and communities,” says CEO David C. Herman, MD. “Our people make Essentia Health great.” Trisko: https://lnkd.in/gGWU3WXy Jackson-Morgan: https://lnkd.in/gmgmeatu Lescher: https://lnkd.in/gmP5sBQU Malazai: https://lnkd.in/g_BUWzVn Kramer: https://lnkd.in/gh5nAEZm Tabernero: https://lnkd.in/gkN9YG9Z

“It was a stressful job, but I answered the call because there was the need,” says Essentia Health's Sydney Eckhoff, APRN, CNP (emergency medicine). “Many patients needed to be on ventilators [during the pandemic], and I was one that knew how to operate it.”

Looking for a new provider? Then we hope you’re as excited as we are to have these experts join Essentia. See if they’re practicing near you.

Meet our colleague Sara Beattie, a registered nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department at Essentia Health-Duluth Clinic 1st Street (Building A), who specializes in everything from performing procedures with providers, to cervical cancer screening and education. Sara says the biggest goal she has for patients is reducing their anxiety during a potentially stressful time, adding that she's honored to work alongside a team of compassionate caregivers.

“I think our ability to work [with Medica] with the focus on keeping [patients] healthy and addressing their health care needs when they need them really advances their care,” explains Essentia Health CEO David C. Herman, MD.

An organization is only as good as its people. We’re so grateful to add these outstanding members to our team.

“As we reach out and talk with other employers across region, what we find out is, probably, the most common thing that they hear from people not moving to take a wonderful job [is] because they can’t find a place to live,” says Essentia Health CEO David C. Herman, MD. Essentia is honored to be the first major employer to invest in Northland Housing Partners (NHP) in an effort to attract and retain new employees and families with more places to call "home."
