Allina Health

Every year, we look forward to our day as the presenting sponsor for Minnesota United FC. Why? Because it's the perfect opportunity to highlight our partnership with community organizations like Roots for the Home Team, put the spotlight on our care team as the Official Health Care Providers of the Loons and to, of course, cheer on our favorite team. Thank you to everyone involved who helped make the day a success!

Meet Jan Wilson! When long-time volunteer Jan Wilson saw one of United Hospital's missing wheelchairs during her bus ride, she took immediate action to return it. Jan’s determination to return the wheelchair to the hospital showcases her incredible dedication and compassion. Her selfless act earned her the prestigious Anchor Award! Thank you, Jan, for being a shining example of selflessness and dedication!
