North Memorial Health: We're Heartbroken. We're Overwhelmed
Our doctors, nurses and people working in health care are doing everything we can to take
care of you when you’re sick. And yet everyday we’re seeing avoidable illness and death as a
direct result of COVID19.
The Situation is Critical.
Our emergency department are overfilled, and we have patients in every bed in our hospitals.
This pandemic has strained our operations and demoralized many people on our teams. Care in
our hospitals is safe but our abililty to provide it is threatened. At any time you or a loved one
might need our support. Heart attacks. Car accidents. Cancer. Stroke. Appendicitis. Now, an
ominous question looms: will you be able to get care from your local community hospital without
delay? Today, that's uncertain
How does this happen in 2021 – almost two full years since this deadly pandemic began? How
can we as a society stand by and watch people die when a simple shot could prevent a life-
threatening illness? Your access to health care is being seriously threatened by COVID19. We
need to stop the spread!
Today we ask you to:
Get vaccinated + get your booster
Wear a mask (even if you’re vaccinated) + socially distanced
If you feel sick, get tested for COVID-19
Encourage neighbors and loved one to take the steps
We’re in this together, and we can only finish it together..
