In 1987 the Franciscans transferred sponsorship and ownership of the hospital to the Benedictine Health System based in Duluth Minn

Today St Francis Regional Medical Center is jointly owned and sponsored by the Essentia Community Hospitals and Clinics Allina Hospitals amp Clinics and Park Nicollet Health Services This unique structure combines the caring and compassion of a community hospital with the modern medical technology specialties and services found in the metro area St Francis provides a full range of inpatient outpatient and emergency care services on a collaborative medical campus with more than 30 other clinics and providers
