What an incredible day at the 2024 Paralympics Field Day! Every moment was filled with inspiration and success. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated and everyone who joined us for a day of fun, competition and community. Your support made the event truly special.

September is Recovery Month and at Allina Health we know that so many of our colleagues and community members have felt the effects of addiction. We know every battle is different and we’re taking time all month to honor journeys and triumphs.

Today, meet Tia Gitter, a registered nurse at New Ulm Medical Center whose sobriety reaches back to November 2016. Read why Tia believes it’s important to continue elevating Recovery Month:

It is a true accomplishment when someone goes through recovery. It shows others that even when you have hit rock bottom, you can pick yourself up and accomplish so many things in life. It is also a great way to educate those who may not fully understand recovery and the hard work and dedication it takes to have continued sobriety while in the face of everyday stress and other challenges.
