Sanford Health Grand Forks employees enjoyed a cool Blizzard treat on this hot day while supporting Miracle Treat Day. For every Blizzard sold, $1 went directly to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, helping support life-changing care for children in our community.

Our fundraising challenge was a home run for United Way!

Our Sanford Grand Forks and East Grand Forks leaders took part in a friendly baseball-themed fundraising challenge where every dollar donated counted as a hit. The leaders with the most hits were rewarded with a sweet treat pitching event at our employee picnic. Our team set out to raise $500, but thanks to the generosity of our employees, we hit it out of the park and raised $911 for our local United Way!

When Sanford Health Grand Forks patient access employee Carlee Hennessey's children wanted to host a lemonade stand, they had a special purpose in mind: thanking local law enforcement.

With help from family, friends and community members, they raised funds to donate to the East Grand Forks Police Department to help provide items officers may need while serving the community.

Thank you, Carlee and family, for demonstrating the power of kindness, gratitude, and community support. Your efforts are making a meaningful difference and inspiring others to give back.

As March came to an end, our dietitian, Sophia Gapp, wrapped up National Nutrition Month by offering a career exploration opportunity to local high school students. We were excited to share information with students at the Career Impact Academy (CIA) in Grand Forks where students learned about the education path to becoming a Registered Dietitian and planted a few herbs.

The Career Academy provides students with hands-on learning experiences in many in-demand career fields, including healthcare. During her visit, Sophia even spotted our organization’s name displayed on the wall recognizing businesses that support the Career Academy – a great reminder of the impact these partnerships have on future professionals.

Giving back where it all started!

Susie (Colter) Munyer, a proud graduate of Red River High School, recently returned to share her journey and introduce Sanford Health’s job shadowing and MedX‑HS opportunities with current high school students.

It was a great chance for students to learn about careers in health care, ask questions, and learn how hands‑on experiences can help shape their future pathways.

Thank you, Susie, for inspiring the next generation and coming back to support students right here in our community! 💙🩺

What are the odds you accidentally twin with your spouse? 😄

Brian stopped by after work, looked at Hillary, and said, “No way…" then unzipped his coat to reveal the exact same outfit!

He left for work before she did, and neither of them had any idea what the other was putting on – total coincidence!

One thing we do know: Sanford is lucky to have both of them on the team. 💙
