February 11, 2021 — Allina Health is grateful to Governor Walz for honoring the victims of the horrific workplace shooting at our Buffalo Crossroads Clinic, as well as all the front-line health care workers and first responders who have been killed or injured in the line of duty by ordering flags flown at half-staff through Sunday, February 14.
Our Allina Health family will also honor our colleagues by observing a moment of silence at noon tomorrow, February 12, 2021 at facilities across the Allina Health system.
We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received and know that our own employees and the public are eager to show their support. Today we set up a designated fund for the five families who were directly impacted by Tuesday’s tragedy as part of our Caring for Caregivers fund.
We continue to be appreciative of the support of health care providers, EMS and law enforcement. Out of respect for the ongoing legal process, we will not be making any comments related to the investigation surrounding the incidents of February 9, 2021 at this time.
