📰 News we're reading
• More Than 150 Allina Doctors File Strike Notice at Mercy and Unity Hospitals (town.news) — Physicians at Allina's Mercy Hospital Unity Campus in Fridley are preparing for a possible four-day strike September 14–17 amid a long-running contract dispute, which could affect appointments and surgeries for local patients. Allina says it plans to keep services running, and a key September 9 bargaining session may still avert the walkout, so Fridley patients should watch for updates from their care teams.
