Duluth Clinic 3rd Street Bargaining

Twin Ports Clinic Nurses Ratify Contracts

We are pleased to share that the new labor contracts for clinic nurses in downtown Duluth and Superior have been ratified and will remain in effect through March 2027.

These agreements cover ambulatory care nurses at the Essentia Health-Duluth Clinic 1st, 2nd and 3rd Street buildings, as well as the Essentia Health St. Mary’s-Superior Clinic. Negotiations with the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) began in July 2024 for the 1st and 2nd Street clinics and in February 2025 for the 3rd Street and Superior clinics. We worked diligently to achieve agreements that recognize our nurses’ exceptional contributions while continuing to prioritize the needs of our patients and communities.

We are happy to have reached this resolution and look forward to moving ahead with a shared focus on delivering outstanding care to the communities we serve. Our colleagues’ dedication and professionalism are at the heart of Essentia’s mission, and these agreements reaffirm our commitment to supporting our nurses as they provide compassionate, high-quality care.

We thank our nurses for their hard work and dedication. Together, we will continue to keep our patients at the center of everything we do.
