This week celebrated ONE year since we've hosted the Statewide Conversations on MN's COVID-19 response with MN Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan.  She made a committment to join us each week, or find a state official each week so that citizens in Minnesota had a chance to ask question. 

This week our conversation included outbreaks in the state, vaccine availability and listener questions about mask mandates, employers and mental health.

This week we checked in with local health care providers in northern Minnesota about the vaccine rollouts. We talked with Grand Itasca Clinic and Hospital's Jon Pederson - Interim Director of Operations and Tyler Waller, PharmD and director of Pharmacy.
