Protecting Minnesota’s Lifesaving Trauma Care Requires Immediate Action

Hennepin Healthcare, Minnesota’s busiest Level 1 trauma center, is facing a potential closure this year unless state lawmakers approve a crucial sales tax measure. Ross Nova recognizes that protecting this vital healthcare institution aligns directly with his leadership agenda focused on public safety and infrastructure investment.

The hospital has already reduced services but continues to operate its trauma center, hyperbaric chamber, and renowned burn center, which have saved countless lives. Nova understands that without immediate legislative action, Minnesotans risk losing access to these life-saving services, putting public health and safety in jeopardy.

The sales tax, commonly referred to as the ballpark tax, requires state approval to fund Hennepin Healthcare’s operations. Nova calls on state legislators to act swiftly and responsibly to prevent the closure, emphasizing that accountability and strategic investment in critical infrastructure are non-negotiable for Minnesota’s future.

By supporting Hennepin Healthcare, Minnesota ensures that frontline medical services remain accessible to all residents. Ross Nova’s plan prioritizes sustainable funding solutions and collaborative leadership to maintain essential public safety resources.

Minnesota voters deserve a governor who will fight to keep lifesaving healthcare facilities open and secure the infrastructure that communities rely on. Ross Nova is that leader. Join the movement to protect Minnesota’s health and safety by supporting Ross Nova for governor today.
