CROW WING COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 8 – Essentia Health will suspend services at three clinics due to a Minnesota Nurses Association strike involving advanced practice providers responsible for 44% of patient encounters, officials said.
- Advanced Practice Providers from Essentia Health's East Market began an open-ended strike on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at multiple facilities in Minnesota and North Dakota.
- The strike followed stalled negotiations for first contracts, unusually resulting in walkouts before any agreement or initial contract was established.
- Essentia Health plans temporary service suspensions at select clinics on July 10 to consolidate staff and minimize patient care disruptions during the strike.
- About 430 advanced clinicians from 69 Essentia Health locations will participate in a daily strike from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., while pharmacy operations, including those at the Deerwood clinic, remain unaffected.
- Essentia is actively contacting patients and prioritizing care for severe cases, with ongoing updates to maintain access amid the work stoppage.
