“Archie will always be a part of the history and success of Pilot City/NorthPoint. He was our first Administrator and thus laid the groundwork for delivering community health and healing in North Minneapolis. His legacy of innovation, community and service will always be a part of the mission and success of this great community institution and we will always lift up his name as one of our greatest leaders. God's Blessings and Peace to his family. Stella Whitney-West/CEO; Board and Staff”
