A message from our President & CEO Lisa Shannon

Welcome

It is an honor to serve in leadership for Allina Health – home to more than 27,000 remarkable Care Team Members who use their immense gifts to advance our caring mission every single day. 

As a nonprofit health system with a 140-year history of caring for our diverse communities, we continue to strive to be our community's most trusted health care ally. For us, that means leading with relationships and using every tool at our disposal to advocate for the healthiest next step.  

As I look to the future, I am energized by our entire system – everything from small, kind gestures to innovative organizational shifts. We will create All Together Better care through moments of great empathy and feats of medical science. 

As you read our 2023 annual report, my hope is that you will see the heart of Allina Health both as it is today and as it will be in the years to come.  

Together, we are united by one mission

We serve our communities by providing exceptional care, as we prevent illness, restore health and provide comfort to all who entrust us with their care.
