🙌 A huge THANK YOU to the Central Mesabi Medical Foundation for their generous donation of $2,979.61 to the Treatment Center! 💙

Thanks to this incredible gift, we were able to purchase a medication cart and vital sign machine — tools that will directly support the health and well-being of our clients. Not only does this help us continue providing high-quality care, but it also makes our staff’s work just a little bit easier each day.

We’re so grateful for your support and investment in our mission! 💚🩺

We wanted to let you know that we will not be hosting our annual golf event this year. While we’ll miss seeing all of you out on the course, don’t let your clubs get too rusty — we’re already planning to bring the event back in 2026!

Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for updates on all the great things happening with the Central Mesabi Medical Foundation!

Our staff dressed in Hibbing Bluejacket and UMD Bulldog apparel and colors in remembrance of local hockey legend, Adam Johnson, gone too soon.

Adam was not just a friend and family member, he was also a shining light for our community.

You will be missed but your legacy will continue to shine brightly.

We remember Adam as a role model for so many kids at our annual Youth Mental Health Night events. Volunteering his time to attend these events is just one example of the incredible person he was. Our thoughts are with the Johnson family and the entire Hibbing community as we mourn the loss of a young man gone too soon.
