The October Business Happy Hour, hosted by Essentia Health in Virginia, was an unforgettable evening that allowed the community to engage in meaningful discussions with Essentia staff, local leaders, and elected officials. Attendees also had the opportunity to sample the award-winning chili and favorite fall treats prepared by the Essentia team.

Exciting developments are on the horizon for the Essentia Health Virginia Campus, as staff announced upcoming renovations to the emergency facilities, urgent care entrance, and other areas set to commence early next year. These enhancements will include an increase in emergency room beds, expanded space dedicated to mental health services, and upgrades to campus utilities - providing better access to essential services within the region.

Make sure to mark your calendar for our next Business Happy Hour Event - The Community Bonfire on November 19th. Bring a colleague or a friend and enjoy another evening of great conversations and community connections. We'll see you there!
