Following a 72-hour, around-the-clock transformation effort, M Health Fairview Bethesda Hospital became Minnesota’s first hospital dedicated to the care of severely ill COVID-19 patients.

To protect our patients and care teams, M Health Fairview is implementing universal masking for all patient-facing staff. The phased rollout started this past week and will continue as soon as possible amid regional and national supply chain constraints.

To help fight the spread of COVID-19 and preserve important medical supplies, M Health Fairview will transition several primary care clinic locations to virtual-only appointments.
