University of Minnesota, Essentia Health announce healthcare partnership
The partners describe a “bold vision to write the next chapter of healthcare” for “all Minnesotans.”
MINNEAPOLIS — The University of Minnesota has found a new healthcare partner in Essentia Health.
In a news release, the two organizations described their new partnership as a “bold vision to write the next chapter of healthcare for, and to best serve the healthcare needs of, all Minnesotans.”
The announcement comes more than a year after the U of M’s current healthcare partner, Fairview Health Services, said it would not renew its healthcare partnership with the university when it expires at the end of 2026.
According to the news release, the University of Minnesota and Essentia Health are looking to create a new non-profit with four key goals:
- Address the most urgent healthcare needs of the state in new ways — for today and the future,
- Build on the strengths of the University of Minnesota and Essentia Health to lead and operate this new entity,
- Serve the needs of current and future patients and help educate the next generation of health professionals,
- Ensure the future of academic medicine in Minnesota and provide essential financial support to the University of Minnesota Medical School.
The partners said their shared goal is to confront significant healthcare challenges in Minnesota and the U.S. as a whole, including rising costs, declining reimbursement and limited access to care. The announcement notes the organizations hope to deliver healthcare “closer to home,” particularly in rural and Tribal communities where healthcare options have declined in recent years.
The proposal includes a $1 billion strategic investment over five years “to bring this vision to life.”
“Our state’s healthcare providers and leaders, as well as everyday Minnesotans, have said loud and clear that we need a healthcare transformation in Minnesota to increase access to care and keep patients close to home with high-quality care,” said University of Minnesota President Rebecca Cunningham in a statement. “We agree, it is time to forge a new path forward and deliver a solution for all Minnesotans. This bold new path would shift us away from business as usual and position us to join with Minnesotans in the years ahead to address our state’s challenges head-on and deliver real transformational solutions in healthcare.”
The announcement states that current doctor-patient relationships would not change while providing “increased access to cutting-edge diagnostics, advanced treatments, specialized care, and innovative clinical trials taking place every day.”
“This is the beginning of an exciting, ambitious — and critically needed — conversation about the future of care in our state,” said Essentia Health CEO Dr. David Herman in a statement. “Essentia Health has a long and committed partnership with the University of Minnesota. With nearly 70 percent of all Minnesota physicians having been trained at the University, we know that continuing to deliver excellent patient outcomes while building a sustainable healthcare future rests on the foundation of a strong medical school. These are key reasons why Essentia leadership has begun exploring opportunities to build a new framework for healthcare in Minnesota.”
University President Rebecca Cunningham said discussions are underway with current partner Fairview about the U’s new healthcare vision.
“We are at an inflection point in our relationship with Fairview Health Services that requires an urgent and innovative solution,” Cunningham said in a statement. “We envision this model as a new path forward in our relationship, one that builds on the momentum all those at M Health Fairview have built and that continues to put patients first, consistent with our organizations’ shared priorities. We have begun conversations and invite further discussion with Fairview to bring this concept to life for Minnesota.”
University of Minnesota and Essentia Health have officially announced a new partnership that aims to enhance healthcare services for patients in the region. This collaboration will combine the research and academic expertise of the University of Minnesota with the clinical excellence of Essentia Health to improve patient outcomes and advance medical knowledge.The partnership will focus on a variety of initiatives, including expanding access to specialty care, optimizing care delivery, and advancing medical education and research. By working together, both organizations hope to create a more seamless healthcare experience for patients and improve the overall health of the communities they serve.
This partnership represents a significant step forward in healthcare innovation and collaboration in the region. Both the University of Minnesota and Essentia Health are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care, and this partnership will further strengthen their ability to achieve this goal.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership and the impact it will have on healthcare in the region.

#University #Minnesota #Essentia #Health #announce #healthcare #partnershipUniversity of Minnesota and Essentia Health share bold new vision for healthcare in Minnesota
A vision for an integrated “all-Minnesota” solution
The University of Minnesota and Essentia Health are sharing the framework for a bold vision to write the next chapter of healthcare for, and to best serve the healthcare needs of, all Minnesotans.
This proposed framework aspires to bring together the collective strengths of both organizations, and potentially other University and Essentia Health partners. The University and Essentia Health are proposing formation of a new not-for-profit entity to:
- Address the most urgent healthcare needs of the state in new ways — for today and for the future,
- Build on the strengths of the University of Minnesota and Essentia Health to lead and operate this new entity,
- Serve the needs of current and future patients and help educate the next generation of health professionals,
- Ensure the future of academic medicine in Minnesota and essential financial support to the University of Minnesota Medical School.
Today’s announcement is just the start of transparent and comprehensive discussions these organizations still must have. Much more work will be needed to bring this vision to fruition. But it charts a course that fits the nonprofit mission of Essentia and the land-grant mission of the University to best serve all Minnesotans. The University and Essentia have shared their vision and the potential for an “all-Minnesota” health solution with Fairview Health Services.
“Our state’s healthcare providers and leaders, as well as everyday Minnesotans, have said loud and clear that we need a healthcare transformation in Minnesota to increase access to care and keep patients close to home with high quality care,” said University of Minnesota President Rebecca Cunningham. “We agree, it is time to forge a new path forward and deliver a solution for all Minnesotans. This bold new path would shift us away from business as usual and position us to join with Minnesotans in the years ahead to address our state’s challenges head-on and deliver real transformational solutions in healthcare.”
Essentia Health CEO and ophthalmologist Dr. David Herman called this proposal “the beginning of an exciting, ambitious, and critically needed conversation” about the future of healthcare in our state.
“This is the beginning of an exciting, ambitious — and critically needed — conversation about the future of care in our state,” said Essentia Health CEO Dr. David Herman. “Essentia Health has a long and committed partnership with the University of Minnesota. With nearly 70 percent of all Minnesota physicians having been trained at the University, we know that continuing to deliver excellent patient outcomes while building a sustainable healthcare future rests on the foundation of a strong medical school. These are key reasons why Essentia leadership has begun exploring opportunities to build a new framework for healthcare in Minnesota.”
The shared goal of the University of Minnesota and Essentia Health is to overcome Minnesota’s most pressing healthcare challenges. The healthcare challenges facing our state and nation are multiple: increasing costs; flat or declining reimbursement; limited access; critical workforce shortages; and structural inequities that amplify health disparities. The proposed framework for a solution doesn’t just form new partnerships, but re-envisions the future to offer wide-ranging benefits for patients throughout Minnesota.
If realized, this new model would help Minnesotans enjoy more comprehensive care, delivered closer to home, where patients need it the most, especially in rural and Tribal communities with fewer local healthcare options. The framework for this solution would preserve existing doctor-patient relationships for patients across our systems while delivering the unrivaled benefits of one of the nation’s leading research universities — increased access to cutting-edge diagnostics, advanced treatments, specialized care, and innovative clinical trials taking place every day.
For healthcare professionals, this approach would create new opportunities to build fulfilling clinical careers caring for Minnesotans and those who travel here from outside the state for exceptional healthcare. Long term, this proposed solution would also decrease clinical costs, allow more sustainable and innovative models (e.g., home health, telehealth, pharmacy services), and scale expensive healthcare technology for use across a large system.
An opportunity for further investment on behalf of patients
This broad framework not only signals the potential for a significant commitment to the health of all Minnesotans, but a significant strategic investment to help bring the vision to life in a way that is sustainable and successful for decades to come. The proposed new all-Minnesota health system solution would invest $1 billion over five years to bring this vision to life.
This would be possible by leveraging the assets of the combined proposed system to unlock financing, and the vision for our shared future to inspire philanthropic support for this not-for-profit all-Minnesota solution.
The newly formed, integrated health framework would re-invest in University of Minnesota on- and near-campus medical facilities, as well as in rural healthcare and increased access to elevated levels of specialized care.
The University currently operates under a collaborative agreement with Fairview Health Services, which ends in 2026.
“We are at an inflection point in our relationship with Fairview Health Services that requires an urgent and innovative solution,” said Cunningham. “We envision this model as a new path forward in our relationship, one that builds on the momentum all those at M Health Fairview have built and that continues to put patients first, consistent with our organizations’ shared priorities. We have begun conversations and invite further discussion with Fairview to bring this concept to life for Minnesota.
“We believe that a healthier and more vibrant Minnesota is not only possible — it’s our duty,” added Cunningham. “This bold vision creates a new day for healthcare in Minnesota, meeting the critical needs of today and anticipating the demands of the future.”
The University of Minnesota and Essentia Health have joined forces to unveil a groundbreaking new vision for healthcare in Minnesota. This innovative partnership aims to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered in the state, with a focus on improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and enhancing access to care.By combining the research expertise of the University of Minnesota with the clinical excellence of Essentia Health, this collaboration is set to drive advancements in healthcare that will benefit patients across the region. Together, they aim to develop new treatment approaches, technologies, and models of care that will transform the healthcare landscape in Minnesota.
This bold new vision represents a major step forward in the effort to provide high-quality, affordable healthcare to all residents of the state. By working together, the University of Minnesota and Essentia Health are poised to make a significant impact on the health and well-being of communities throughout Minnesota. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership and the positive changes it will bring to the healthcare industry.

Gamecocks Set for Top-5 SEC Game Friday Night – University of South Carolina Athletics
Gamecock Notables
-
This game is South Carolina’s NCAA-leading ninth against a ranked opponent this season and their fourth straight ranked contest. With seven SEC teams ranked this week, every league team faces a gauntlet, but the Gamecocks added six ranked non-conference teams to their slate for 14 total games against the nation’s best – four more games than any other ranked team.
-
The Gamecock defense is 15th in the nation, allowing just 55.1 points per game, including yielding just 57.1 points per game to ranked opponents.
-
After a pair of loose turnover games, South Carolina tightened up against #13/13 Oklahoma with just six. On the season, the Gamecocks are 12th in the nation with just 12.1 turnovers per game.
-
The Gamecocks are sixth in the nation with 42.0 points in the paint per game.
-
South Carolina’s depth continues to stymie opponents with five Gamecocks averaging at least 9.0 points, including three who come off the bench. Nine of the 12 active roster players average at least 15.0 minutes per game.
-
Freshman Joyce Edwards has been on a tear since the end of the Fall semester, averaging 15.2 points over those nine games on 64.6 percent shooting. The reigning SEC Freshman of the Week is the Gamecocks’ top scorer on the season, and her 14.3 points per SEC game rank 20th in the league on an SEC-best 65.4 percent shooting..
-
Senior Sania Feagin has been locked in since Ashlyn Watkins’ injury, averaging 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds over the last four games. Her numbers, which also include 2.75 blocks per game, have come while also defending opposing centers who tower over her 6-foot-3 frame.
-
Sophomore MiLaysia Fulwiley is second on the team in scoring overall (11.2) and in SEC play (13.7) as she continues to grow into steady play and defensive effort alongside her natural ability to wow the crowd. The runner-up for AP Player of the Week, she averaged 15.5 points, 4.0 assists and 1.5 blocks last week that included a pair of behind the back assists, highlight reel layups and a 34-foot 3-pointer.
By the Numbers

The LSU Series
The Gamecocks are 20-22 all-time against the Tigers but boast a 17-5 mark in the Dawn Staley era, including winning the last 16 meetings.South Carolina swept a pair of tight games last season with both games decided in the fourth quarter. In the 2024 SEC Tournament title game (Mar. 10), LSU drew within a point with 4:36 to play and were within five at late as the 1:57 mark. The Gamecock defense shut down the Tigers down the stretch with Sania Feagin and MiLaysia Fulwiley delivering from the free throw line to seal the victory.

The Tigers knotted the game at 70-70 with 1:42 to play when Bree Hall buried a clutch 3, and Raven Johnson scored the final three points for the 76-70 South Carolina victory.

University of Mississippi – Ole Miss Athletics
The impact of Pat Head Summitt, professionally and personally, for former Ole Miss players, coaches, and staff is significant.
A former college player and head coach of women’s basketball, Summitt was the winningest coach in college basketball (1,098 victories) after she coached her final game on April 18, 2012.
She played basketball at the University of Tennessee-Martin from 1970-74, when the return of women’s college basketball nationally was in its infancy. At the age of 22, she was named head coach of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville women’s basketball program prior to the 1974-75 season. For almost four decades, Summitt and her teams were the standard for women’s college basketball.
In her years at Tennessee, the Lady Vols won eight NCAA championships, as well as 16 Southeastern Conference regular season titles and another 16 SEC Tournament crowns. Players and coaches throughout the SEC and the nation watched with respect. Some of them actually competed on the basketball courts against UT and its legendary leader, who passed away on June 28, 2016 at age 64.
Three former Ole Miss players, who were Rebel teammates, became head coaches at current Southeastern Conference schools. They had competed against Summitt when they were players and later as coaches.
“The game of women’s basketball still today is Pat Head Summitt,” said Carol Ross, an Ole Miss player from 1977-81 and later head coach of both the Florida Gators (1990-2002) and the Ole Miss Rebels (2003-07). “She was the architect for what we know as women’s basketball then and today. More importantly than the blueprint for building and running a program, it was the integrity and generosity in which she did so. Pat put the game before her program. Not sure if many would do the same.”
Renee Ladner was a teammate of Ross at Ole Miss. She served as an assistant coach at Florida and Ole Miss before becoming head coach at Ole Miss from 2007-12.
“Coach Summitt is known to most for her record-setting number of wins and championships,” Ladner said. “Pat’s lasting legacy to me is where she started in the infant stage of women’s basketball and how SHE grew our sport to what it is today. We are here in so many ways because of Pat’s efforts and influence in the game as we know it today.”
Ladner pointed out Summitt’s willingness to share her knowledge and experiences with other coaches in the league and across the country.
“As a young college athlete and high school coach, I had no idea what Coach Summitt would come to mean to me and our sport. It didn’t take me long to figure out that Pat was the G.O.A.T.! I wanted to emulate her teams, her grit and her style of coaching. I hung on every word when she spoke on her lessons in life. I knew Pat was a special person and coach. Pat was a fierce competitor, but wanted us all to succeed. Pat was gracious, approachable and shared tips to help your team. I feel honored to have worked beside her in the SEC.”
Peggie Gillom-Granderson, also an Ole Miss teammate of Ross and Ladner, was an assistant coach with the Rebels two different times and was the head coach of Texas A&M women’s basketball from 1998-2003.
“One of Coach Summitt’s lasting legacies to the game is the fact that the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is located in Knoxville, Tenn., a place where women’s basketball came to be so recognized,” she said. “She really set the stage for the exposure of the game of women’s basketball.”
Gillom-Granderson shared a very personal moment for her and her family, one when her sister, Jennifer Gillom who played at Ole Miss, was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
“After the ceremony, Coach Summitt invited our whole family – 15 to 20 of us – to her home. She was someone who shared with other people. I was always in awe of the great Pat Summitt as a coach, but even more in awe of her as a normal, kind, and affectionate person.”
The former college head coaches shared some thoughts on what younger coaches and current players should know about Summitt.
“No shortcuts with Pat,” Ross said. “Love your players. Respect the profession. Communicate directly and fairly. Compete for everything. Expect nothing to be given. Try to walk in someone else’s shoes. In all you do, do so with integrity.”
“Young coaches and players should have tremendous gratitude and appreciation for Pat’s work ethic, her lifelong dedication and her influence on women’s sports,” Ladner said. “Without Pat, none of us may have had the vast opportunities we have today with scholarships, journalism/broadcasting, administrators, female head coaches, and the list goes on and on. We are because of her. It started with Pat and we should never forget it.”
“Coach Summitt not only wanted Tennessee to be successful but the game of women’s basketball as well,” Gillom-Granderson said. “What she did helped elevate all of us. She embraced excellence and people who exhibited excellence.”
The way Pat Head Summitt approached and lived her last years was extraordinary, Ross pointed out, as well as their friendship through the years.
“Look at how Pat handled the greatest adversity in her life – a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s at the apex of her historic career,” Ross said. “She did so honestly, with a gameplan, as a fierce competitor and with integrity. Exactly the way she moved through her coaching career, as the greatest coach in women’s basketball.
“Pat meant many things to me,” Ross continued. “Adversary, competitor, role model, but mostly beach neighbor and friend. November through March we competed in the SEC. Most of the other months we fought for recruits, but there was a little window which we spent in Florida on (state road) 30A doing beach things. Those were great times…a cold drink, toes in the sand, lots of laughs, opinions on issues of the game and some really good food. Pat was a great cook and enjoyed entertaining. I really miss those days. I miss her.”Ole Miss women’s basketball will celebrate Coach Summitt’s legacy at its annual We Back Pat game against Texas on Sunday, Jan. 26 at 2:00 p.m. CT.
