A Special Opportunity

With this event, we kickoff our 40th anniversary year celebration.  In 1969, legislators passed the funding that began our school. In honor of the many physicians, community leaders, administrators, philanthropists and legislators who advocated for our school, we have commissioned a Wall of Honor which will be unveiled this fall at a special event. In addition we have established a very special scholarship to support our students: The Duluth Medical Legends and Leaders Scholarship.  If you would like to honor Drs. Thomas or Vainio by contributing to this scholarship, please call Michelle Juntunen at 218.726.6876.  Or click here to give online.
