Mediation is underway between the University, Fairview and M Physicians. This is a positive step forward and we are optimistic that together we can develop an agreement that best serves the health and healthcare needs of Minnesota and ensure our medical school remains a public asset for generations to come.
In mediation, we are eager to collectively and creatively explore all options to define a mutually agreeable path forward. Any final agreement must lead to
- Better patient care in modern, up-to-date University of Minnesota Medical Center facilities.
- Recruitment and training of the next generation of health professionals to serve all of Minnesota.
- Consistent and sustained access to qualified care in both urban and rural settings.
- Investment in research that leads to life-saving and life-sustaining cures.
There is hard work ahead of us and trust to rebuild but it’s necessary to do what’s right for Minnesota.
