“For more than a century, bethesda hospital has focused on the community's most pressing health needs and become well known for providing care event to those who couldn't pay. The hospital moved several times before it was relocated to its current site in 1932. But it didn't stop evolving. Its nursing school trained units to serve in world war ii. It played a pivotal role in the development of the pacemaker when dr. Samuel hunter implanted the first permanent leads into a patient's heart at the hospital in 1959. In 1963, bethesda established the city's first dialysis unit. And in 1989, it became a long-term acute care facility, or ltach, to serve patients with complex medical needs that required longer stays. Now, our community's needs are evolving once again. And just as we have always done, we will transform bethesda to meet the most pressing health needs of our community. Today, that means supporting our community's response to the homelessness crisis. At bethesda, we have an opportunity to serve up to 100 people experiencing homelessness during the pandemic. There, residents will have private rooms, meals, bathroom and shower facilities. Ramsey county will coordinate mental health care and chemical abuse treatment on site, as well as a variety of social services such as employment assistance. And those with symptoms of covid-19 will have access to treatment and the ability to isolate from other residents in a separate area of the building. By the end of 2020, most existing hospital services at bethesda moved to other hospital locations in our system, including our highly recognized covid 19 care center, which has a new home at st. Joseph's hospital. Though we are working to transition many staff to other positions and locations, our long-term acute care facility, or ltach, remains needed service within our community. The ltach was moved and during 2020 to a new location and continues its inpatient bed count and the specialty nature of the care provided there. We expect that medicare and medicaid patients will continue to make up the bulk of bethesda hospital's total patients and that bethesda will continue to offer care regardless of the patient's ability to pay.”

“Healtheast care system is part of the fairview health services system and provided post-acute care to patients at healtheast bethesda hospital following a catastrophic illness or injury for more than a century. In early 2020, bethesda hospital became minnesota's first dedicated covid- 19 treatment facility. It played a critical role in the state's early pandemic response and achieved some of the highest survival rates in the nation - and even the world - during the early days of the pandemic. Its care teams created new care models and connected patients to treatment options and clinical trials supported by researchers at the university of minnesota. What made care successful was the models established using protocols to identify patient risks early and offer appropriate treatments. Treatment protocols initially developed at bethesda are used across the fairview health system. In december 2020, a new mission transformed bethesda hospital that is critical to our community's covid-19 response - providing shelter to 100 homeless people in partnership with ramsey county. Residents will have private rooms, meals, bathroom and shower facilities. Ramsey county will coordinate mental health care and chemical abuse treatment on site, as well as a variety of social services such as employment assistance. And those with symptoms of covid-19 will have access to treatment and the ability to isolate from other residents in a separate area of the building. Adequate housing is critical to improving our community's health, and now, it's also critical to preventing the spread of covid-19 too. Evidence shows people without stable housing experience higher rates of disease, are more likely to have multiple health concerns and have a lower life expectancy than others in the same community. These health challenges, in turn, make it harder to hold a job. And during the pandemic, they're more likely to suffer poorer outcomes if they should contract covid-19. As bethesda evolves, it will continue to play a critical role in the state's covid-19 response - but in a new way. Since the pandemic began, the medical community has learned a lot about how to treat the illness and increase survival rates, and the models created at bethesda are saving lives throughout our health system. That allows us the opportunity to transition the site to a new phase of support. Too often, in times of crisis, the most vulnerable in our community are overlooked. True to its mission, the new use of bethesda will ensure we help those most in need as we aggressively respond to the covid-19 pandemic. For more than a century, bethesda hospital has focused on the community's most pressing health needs and become well known for providing care event to those who couldn't pay.
