Meet Vivie

Discover the stories behind the people and places reimagining care throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Who we are

Our story started with two separate organizations — Knute Nelson and Walker Methodist — both passionate about serving, both pillars in their communities for over 75 years.

Now, we’ve joined together as Vivie. We’re the same people with the same passion and a bigger-than-ever vision — to surround the people we serve with whatever kind of care they need at any point in time. We’re here to transform what it means to care for people well.
