Essentia Health employs 11,500 people, including 750 physicians. Its locations span four states.

Our growing network of hospitals and clinics offer all the advantages of working for a large integrated health system. You'll find the resources and support to bring the best care to your patients, no matter where you choose to live. With 750 physicians across 55 specialties, Essentia Health's physician-led health system promotes collaboration and professional growth.

Physicians at Essentia Health enjoy freedom to pursue professional interests, innovative clinical care programming, adoption of new technologies and techniques, and research and teaching. A significant number of our physicians participate in clinical trials and research studies, which are often supported in part with grants from one of our foundations.

By joining a nonprofit, you will never have to bear any personal financial risk for bad debt or charity care compensation. Physicians are not required to make the long-term, personal equity investments to support ancillary services that are often required in for-profit organizations.
