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 health care teams who care for them, even when they occur outside of our hospitals. Health care settings must remain places of safety, healing and dignity for all.
As health care 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 health care.
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.
