CSS at Essentia Health Day: Celebrating community health and workforce partnership

The College of St. Scholastica and Essentia Health hosted “CSS at Essentia Health Day” to celebrate the deep-rooted partnership and the impact of St. Scholastica students and alumni on regional healthcare. The event, held on Friday, April 17, featured alumni networking, professional development opportunities, and information for Essentia staff looking to further their healthcare education.

“This is a unique way to highlight the connection between education, workforce development, and community health that the College and Essentia share through the Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery,” said Director of Alumni Engagement Rose Carpenter ’22 (MBA ’24).

Currently, over 800 St. Scholastica alumni serve patients across the Essentia Health system, demonstrating the local impact of CSS-trained professionals. “The event brings together St. Scholastica alumni and preceptors working with our current students, who are actively serving patients across the Essentia Health system, showcasing the local impact of health care professionals,” Carpenter noted.
