We are here to help during COVID-19
In this time when we are all in transition and learning and adapting to our new normal, I want to take the opportunity to reach out to all of you to assure you that I am available to assist you in health however I can. I understand that this is a stressful time - it is for me as a medical professional, as a husband, father and grandfather - and I, along with you, find myself taking each day one step at a time. Taking care of ourselves and one another is essential to ensure that we ride out this storm together and reach the other side. I find myself needing my bike ride at the end of the day more now than ever, and often more for the emotional benefits than the physical ones. We are adaptable and we are now needing to adapt - as a care giver, I want to be as supportive as I possibly can. It is with sincerity that I ask, "How can I help?"
With this in mind, I, along with my entire bariatric team including dietitians, exercise physiologists and psychologists, are here, willing and able. Although all bariatric and elective surgeries and procedures have been placed on hold due to the order of our Governor Tim Walz, we continue to see patients through telemedicine to provide care. Whether that be be patients in the preoperative process to continue to get them prepared for surgery, or patients post operatively to assist them in continuing to move into health following surgery - it is our commitment to continue to offer the same level of excellence to every one of you. It may look a little different, but thanks to technology, we are able to stay up and running.
We also have moved up the launch date of our new non-surgical weight loss program as we recognized that this is a time when many people need structure with exercise and health. This program seems to really be meeting the needs of so many and we have been pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of people interested in working with us to get on track with their own health. If this is something that you might be interested in, please contact us and we can get you the information to determine if this might be a good fit for you.
Although there may be a time that I will be called to the front line of the Hospital, until then I want to make a difference wherever I can. We will get through this together and through this shared experience I truly believe we will be better and stronger. Stay healthy, stay safe and thank you for doing your part - it matters!
