The hospital nursing strike involves several thousand members of the Minnesota Nurses Association, a labor union in negotiations with metro area hospitals. At the very least, the community clinic will be open during its regular hours. If we find patients need more care than we can provide during regular hours, we will find a way to extend our regular hours at some locations. AMC officials encourage their patients to contact their physician with questions about where they can obtain appropriate care if they need to be hospitalized. At hospitals where nurses are on strike, emergency departments, birthing centers and other parts of the hospital will remain open.
Physicians can help patients identify the best options.
