As we are all aware, Hennepin Healthcare is facing unprecedented financial challenges requiring immediate, difficult decisions. Both our County leadership and our Hennepin Healthcare System (HHS) Board of Directors are aware of the urgency of the situation. Today's news conference was hosted by members of our HHS Board of Directors acting as independent citizens, not by Hennepin Healthcare. We will not be commenting on the resolution itself but as the public conversation about our future continues, we trust that all parties involved have the best interests of our patients at heart. During this time and always, with a commitment to our mission, the skilled, diverse team members at our hospital and clinics are focused on the daily work of delivering excellent patient care.
