The Otto Bremer Trust is proud to support the expansion of Essentia Health's Virginia Emergency Department. Good luck with your campaign!

Building a Beacon of Hope, our campaign to expand emergency care at Essentia Health-Virginia, was launched just last year. We are pleased to share that the Otto Bremer Trust stepped up with a matching gift of $150,000! So many generous donors have already made gifts of all sizes to support this critical expansion—doubling their impact through the matching gift. While we’re one step closer to finalizing this project, there’s still work to be done.

Make your gift at EssentiaHealth.org/VirginiaFoundation.
