St. Francis Regional Medical Center
Founded in 1938 by the Franciscan Sisters and sponsored in its Catholic identity by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery, St. Francis Regional Medical Center operates under joint ownership by Allina Health, HealthPartners Park Nicollet, and Essentia Health—a rare three-way governance structure among Minnesota's largest nonprofit health systems. The main campus at 1455 St. Francis Avenue anchors a delivery network that includes a surgery and endoscopy center, two Hy-Vee-based Express Care clinics, and a Jordan outreach clinic. Investment posture flows through a pooled portfolio managed in Minneapolis alongside physical-plant commitments that include a recently renovated Cancer Center with a state-of-the-art infusion suite and radiation oncology in one location. Capital partners and board relationships extend to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, Polaris Inc. via board member Ryan Tranby, and major donor Rahr Corporation. The system holds a consortium stake in the Life Link III air-medical fleet and maintains a curated art collection within the Cancer Center. President Amy Jerdee leads an executive team that includes Chief Nursing Officer Laura Randgaard, with professional affiliations reaching into the American College of Healthcare Executives and the Minnesota Organization of Leaders in Nursing. The Saints Foundation serves as the institution's philanthropic vehicle, channeling community gifts toward capital projects and patient-care initiatives. The hospital maintains an active Shakopee Chamber of Commerce presence through board representation by Amy Kuehn. Structurally, St. Francis operates as an asset-heavy community hospital that is neither a standalone independent nor a fully absorbed system subsidiary—its tri-owner governance board draws on the balance sheets and strategic priorities of three distinct Minnesota health systems, giving it capital-access advantages uncommon for a single-site regional medical center.
