Tragic loss of one of our first responder brothers. From the reports, he died following the instincts we all share, protecting others.

Man killed at Trump rally was former Pa. fire chief who 'died a hero' Former Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company chief Corey Comperatore "died a hero" when he "dove on his family to protect them," Gov. Josh Shapiro said

The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.

Happy from your favorite EMS union 🎆🇺🇸🎆

State Representative John Huot did a TON of work to get EMS funding and the new office of EMS over the finish line! We appreciate all the hours he spent with us and all the consideration of our members. More great things to come for EMS and organized labor!

So this is really cool, this week is EMS week. Today I was invited to participate in a bill signing done by Governor Walz on the EMS bill that took me six years to get through. This bill will help us in Minnesota stabilize EMS. I’m excited about it. It will change the way we do emergency medical services in the state. Now the real work starts. Thank you Judy Seeberger and the crew on the EMS task force.

Very happy to work with State Representative Dave Lislegard, State Representative John Huot and Senator Judy Seeburger on this historic bill! We are very supportive of our EMS brothers and sisters in rural Minnesota. We are also excited to see a strong presence for organized labor in the newly created EMS office!

Minnesota eyes 'sprint' paramedics to ease rural shortages, lagging emergency response Legislature considers $6 million to test the use of chase vehicles that would respond to medical emergencies on the Iron Range and in the northwest lakes region.

Great barber! Amazing supporter of all of us in public safety!

It’s really not “all” if your founder, Kathy Tunheim, spends her days gutting healthcare for working families at Hennepin Healthcare. Maybe she should step down as HHS board President and focus on her own business?!

Happy New Year! 🎉 As we begin 2024, we look forward to embracing new opportunities, achieving milestones, and fostering shared success. Here's to a year filled with prosperity and fulfillment for all!

What a complete joke of an organization! They cut employee healthcare, while enriching our CEO and her cronies like Kathy Tunheim. They eliminate slim down clinic and stop covering weight loss medicines.

This is what “privatization” of healthcare looks like: gaslighting hardworking families while enriching corrupt executive. We need to end governance now!

Tell Marion Greene - Hennepin County Commissioner District 3 to be brave and stop voting against working families

Awesome job!

What a way to ring in the New Year for Paramedics Merrill and Sunnarborg, delivering the first baby of the year at 2:44am 1/1/2024! Using the Jeenie interpretation app, these medics established a great rapport with the family and during transport determined it was time to deliver in the back of the ambulance! Hennepin Healthcare's first in-patient delivery followed soon after at 3:42am. Check out the comments for a short audio clip. Congrats to all! (Stork Award presented by Assistant Chief Ryan Mayfield and Deputy Chief Charles Sloan)

Hopefully they’re not Hennepin Healthcare employees. They just lost $5,500 dollars in 3 hours and 42 minutes! Lovely baby…terrible health insurance 😅

Happy Birthday and Happy New Year to Leslie - our first baby born in 2024! She was welcomed by her parents Ingrid & Walter and team at 3:42 a.m. #2024
