Solvay Hospice House Bargaining

Essentia Health recognizes the MNA as the union representing staff at the Solvay Hospice House. Essentia Health is committed to working through the usual process of bargaining in good faith to come to a mutually agreeable contract. Bargaining on a new first contract began on Nov. 20, 2024.

Solvay colleagues ratify contract

Colleagues at Solvay Hospice House have ratified the tentative agreement reached between Essentia and the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) for a three-year contract, which will remain in effect through October 2028. This agreement represents an important step forward in supporting our colleagues who provide high-quality, end-of-life care in our community. 

We are pleased to have reached this resolution following negotiations with the MNA. This collaborative effort emphasizes our commitment to fostering a supportive work environment for our valued colleagues and ensuring the sustainability of service delivery.
