Mayo Clinic Health System values the contribution of our nursing staff and the important role they play in caring for our patients. We are currently in contract negotiations with the Minnesota Nurses Association in Mankato. Mayo Clinic Health System is in full agreement that bargaining should continue. As is standard practice, our nurses elected a representative group of their peers to act as the negotiating committee, representing all nurses at the bargaining table. We are hopeful we can resume negotiations with this team of elected nurses in the near future. We remain committed to fair and productive negotiations that yield a positive outcome for our patients, nurses and hospital.
