Chamber Event ReCap

State of the Hospital

Advancing our mission to connect, inform, and advocate for a strong and thriving business community, we had an enlightening State of the Hospital luncheon at Ruth’s on Stafford, featuring Northfield Hospital and Clinics’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Zander Abbott. Zander shared insightful updates, including details about the new affiliation with Allina Clinic of Northfield, and what it means for the future of local healthcare. The event also included a lively and engaging Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to ask thoughtful questions and gain a deeper understanding of the hospital’s direction and priorities.

Morning Mingle @ FiftyNorth

Bringing members together to build relationships, celebrate community assets, and strengthen local connections—core to our Chamber mission—We had a great time celebrating FiftyNorth’s 50th anniversary while hosting our Morning Mingle at their beautiful facility. It was wonderful to hear about the rich history of FiftyNorth and all the exciting events and programming they have planned throughout the year. We’re grateful to be part of such a vibrant community resource—be sure to check out everything they have to offer on their website: https://fiftynorth.org/.
