GRAND MARAIS, MN, September 30, 2022 — North Shore Health (NSH) is thrilled to announce that they have launched their new and improved website. The previous website had become outdated and lacked some of the informative content that NSH administration wanted to convey. The new website is a complete redesign and features far more helpful information for our patients, residents, visitors and partners. “In addition to improved depth of information, the new website is brighter, better branded, more visually compelling and easier to read and navigate,” said Todd Ford, Public Information Coordinator. “I enjoyed collaborating with the team that brought this priority project to completion.” NSH quietly released a “soft launch” two weeks prior to their public announcement, allowing the opportunity to fine-tune details that may have been overlooked in the development process. “We now have vastly improved control of the new site, which enables our internal web admin team to make changes and updates,” said Hilja Iverson, LSW-Social Services Department Manager.
