In August, Winton Forsberg, 91, was doing yardwork with his daughter, something he loves. This time, though, he started feeling unusually tired. The next day, swelling in his legs and shortness of breath sent him to the emergency department at M Health Fairview St. John’s Hospital.

The heart care team quickly diagnosed severe aortic stenosis. Winton had a minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) just one month later.

After Ozzy Hentges was born with Down syndrome and later diagnosed with leukemia, her family was faced with a journey of uncertainty. But what they found instead was a community of care at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital. For them, it was beyond the medicine. It was nurses and specialists who listened. Care teams who showed up again and again. Other families who understood the language of hospital days and hard moments.

Through it all, one thing was clear: they weren't doing this alone.

This is what it looks like when care becomes community. 💙

“Dietitians talk about the benefits of fiber all the time, so I'm hopeful that the fiber trend encourages people to consume more plant-based foods because the average daily fiber intake is only 16 grams per day," said Kayla McClanahan, RD, a dietitian with M Health Fairview.

Our hearts are heavy as violence in our state continues to harm lives and ripple across our communities. These events affect patients, families, and the healthcare teams who care for them, even when they occur outside of our hospitals. Healthcare settings must remain places of safety, healing, and dignity for all.

As healthcare organizations, our mission is to heal—to provide safe, calm, and equitable care for everyone who needs it. Violence has no place in our communities or in healthcare.

We urge community leaders and elected officials at all levels of government to take immediate steps to deescalate harmful rhetoric and violence, and to use their influence to promote peace, safety, and constructive dialogue.

These incidents increase stress and pressure on our teams who remain deeply committed to all who need care.

We stand with all who have been affected by recent events in Minnesota and remain committed to delivering the care our community needs.
