On Sunday night, we experienced heartbreaking loss in our community and within our own organization. As you may have seen reported in the news, a driver crashed a car into a patio at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park, Minn., causing two fatalities and many injuries. Among those gathered on the patio was a group of colleagues from our Methodist Hospital team. Tragically, one of our colleagues was killed in this incident, and four other colleagues were injured.
In Sunday’s incident we lost our colleague Gabe Harvey, a member of our critical care unit at Methodist Hospital and a hospital unit coordinator. We share his name with the permission of Gabe’s partner and family, and we mourn with them.
We also ask that you keep the other four Methodist colleagues, Theo Larson, Tegan D’Albani, Laura Knutsen, and Eric Schefers in your thoughts as they recover from their injuries.
The shock of this news is fresh and hearts across HealthPartners are heavy. Thank you for supporting one another as always, and especially during a painful time such as this.
