💚 Meet Paige – Our newest DAISY Award Recipient!

Paige Carlson, RN, has a gift for making her patients feel seen, heard, and cared for, not just treated. One patient recovering from a stroke shared, “She didn’t just care for me. She cared about me.” 🌼

Her leader, Mikayla, says Paige brings compassion, empathy, and even a bit of humor to every shift.

Please join us in celebrating Paige for her extraordinary care and heart for others. 👏

This morning, we were proud to host the Altru Veterans’ Breakfast, bringing together members of our team who are veterans or active service members. They shared good food and connection.

To all who have served and those who continue to serve, thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication. ❤️ 🤍 💙

Thank you to Steve and all the veterans who volunteer in Altru’s Veteran Ambassador Program.

Thank you also to every veteran and active service member for your selfless service!

💚 This holiday season, we’re coming together to ensure no family in our region goes hungry.

On November 20 at our Grand Forks hospital and clinic (from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.), we’ll be collecting produce, frozen foods and dry goods.

📦 This year, Altru’s food pantry in Grand Forks has already served over 600 people, distributed 225 food baskets, and provided more than 8,100 pounds of food. With your help, we can do even more.

🙏 Please join us in making this season brighter and more nourishing for our community. Bring produce, dry foods or frozen items — every contribution matters.

You can also donate to the Altru Foundation » https://www.altru.org/about-us/support-altru/altru-health-foundation/donate-today

💬 “You’re not a bother. You deserve to be heard.”
In this video, Evan Sconce, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Altru, shares what you can do if you’re feeling anxious or depressed but don’t want to “burden” anyone by talking about it. 💚
Reaching out is a sign of strength — not weakness. Whether it’s a friend, loved one, or a professional, taking that first step can make all the difference.
