His heart stopped. ECMO stepped in.

When sudden cardiac arrest left Christopher’s heart unable to sustain him, he was rushed to M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center — home to one of the nation’s top ECMO programs.

ECMO can boost survival after prolonged cardiac arrest by 7–8x. Four days on ECMO. A life-saving quadruple bypass. Thirty days later, he headed back home.

This is advanced, patient-centered cardiac care in action.

Infusion therapies are transforming care — and demand is growing.

To better serve patients, we have added 13 new infusion chairs, enhanced pharmacy space, a redesigned lab area, and a new satellite blood bank to improve turnaround times at M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center in Minneapolis.

Infusions are used for cancer care, immune conditions, nutrition therapy, hydration, and more. They can take hours and require careful coordination behind the scenes. This thoughtful expansion improves comfort, efficiency, and access — helping more patients receive the expert care they need, when they need it.

After a major heart event, Susan, an M Health Fairview physical therapist, found herself afraid to get back to some of her normal activities, like exercise. She found her second chance with cardiac rehab.

These programs rebuild strength, confidence, and long-term heart health. Yet data show women in Minnesota are far less likely than men to even be referred to or start cardiac rehab after a major heart event.

👉 Only about 3 in 10 women start cardiac rehab after a qualifying event, compared to 4 in 10 men — even though participating improves recovery and reduces future risks.

This isn’t just a stat. It’s a missed lifeline.
If you or someone you love has had a heart attack, bypass surgery, or another cardiac event, this next step matters. Click the link below to learn more.

In August, Winton Forsberg, 91, was doing yardwork with his daughter, something he loves. This time, though, he started feeling unusually tired. The next day, swelling in his legs and shortness of breath sent him to the emergency department at M Health Fairview St. John’s Hospital.

The heart care team quickly diagnosed severe aortic stenosis. Winton had a minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) just one month later.

Link in comments for more on the incredible procedure that allowed Winton to be back to his daughter’s house in time to help rake fall leaves. 🍁

After Ozzy Hentges was born with Down syndrome and later diagnosed with leukemia, her family was faced with a journey of uncertainty. But what they found instead was a community of care at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital. For them, it was beyond the medicine. It was nurses and specialists who listened. Care teams who showed up again and again. Other families who understood the language of hospital days and hard moments.

Through it all, one thing was clear: they weren't doing this alone.

This is what it looks like when care becomes community. 💙
