You are likely aware of Mayo Clinic's decision to restructure and reduce hospital services in Albert Lea, MN, including the elimination of ICU and inpatient services. At the end of the day, the loss of these services will have a negative impact on Minnesotans who will face longer travel times and distances to access the healthcare they need.
Also troubling is that Mayo Clinic seems not to have genuinely engaged with and listened to the community in an effort to truly understand the impact of this decision.
If Mayo Clinic is unwilling to hold further conversations with YOU about this decision, now it the time for you to express your concerns by attending The Rally for Rural Healthcare. Join Save Our Hospital on Saturday, September 30th at 1:00pm in Albert Lea to unite with and support Albert Lea and other rural communities facing reductions in healthcare services.
What: The Rally for Rural Health Care
When: Saturday, September 30th at 1:00 p.m.
Where: Central Park in Albert Lea, MN
Why: To support rural communities facing reductions in healthcare services
The challenges that older adults and all Minnesotans in rural counties face when it comes to accessing vital healthcare services are immense. It may be Albert Lea today, but which Greater Minnesota community is next? Show your support by attending the rally Saturday!
Sincerely,
AARP Minnesota

Reading Al Franken's response to the hospital closing made me ill especially after seeing Al compare himself to Paul Wellstone a couple weeks ago. What a joke Al turned out to be.

Nothing is Naeve anymore as far as business or licensing purposes go. My guess is someone is thinking about the Naeve Healthcare Foundation which still exists along with the Auxiliary that runs the gift shop and coffee shop and manages donations. The original building is still occasionally referred to as Naeve hospital but in name only.

"It's the kind of place where a county commissioner turns down an interview with a reporter because he says he has to do some urgent farming."
That's nice.

As per the Tribune:
"District 3 Commissioner Jim Nelson suggested an outside lawyer be hired to speak on national broadcasts, bringing potentially damaging attention to Mayo Clinic."
Here's an idea: When the national political journalism company, and well-respected, Politico, comes to ask the County Chairman for input on the Save our Hospital movement, maybe he should give an interview rather than abruptly cut off the interviewer and say he has to get back to farming.
