Concerned Employees of Hennepin Healthcare is a multiracial and multidisciplinary group of Hennepin Healthcare workers who came together after George Floyd’s murder.

With everything we did not yet know about COVID-19, I was shocked to find out that we would be affected where I work, in rural Perham, Minnesota. Despite the risks, my fellow nurses and I show up to work every day because it is our job to care for our community.
