Knewtson Health Group Receives Award from State Fire Chiefs

Knewtson Health Group was awarded the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association Community Partner Award last month—recognized for their outstanding leadership skills to promote fire and life safety education in their community and the Sate of Minnesota and their exemplary commitment and dedication of proactive efforts of prevention.

Fire Chief, Scott Gerber accepted the award on behalf of Knewtson Health Group because owners, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Troy Knewtson could not be present at the award ceremony in Duluth. Knewtson Health Group was presented with the award at the Excelsior Fire Station on Thursday, Nov. 1 by Assistant Fire Chief, Dana George.   

Knewtson Health group was nominated by the Excelsior Fire District for several reasons.  They are steadfast supporters of the fire district, and they are active promoters of firefighter’s health. They have also been financial sponsors for several Fire District projects for over a decade.
