Joint Statement Supporting Doctors Treating COVID-19 Patients Minnesota Medical Association President Marilyn Peitso, MD Minnesota Hospital Association President and CEO Rahul Koranne, MD

October 31, 2020

The MMA and MHA join other professional organizations in expressing our disappointment over remarks suggesting that physicians and hospitals in America are trying to profit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Hard-working professionals and frontline health care heroes in Minnesota and across the nation who are putting their lives on the line every day treating victims of this relentless virus deserve more. Our physicians, nurses and care teams are driven by a collective mission of providing the highest quality care 24/7 to all Minnesotans, including those suffering from the effects of COVID-19. Health care professionals and other frontline care team members need teamwork and support to defeat this pandemic. Given the rapidly increasing community spread of COVID-19 in our state, we ask for your support of our health care heroes by please wearing a mask, following physical distancing guidelines and washing your hands.
