Call Hennepin County Commissioners 

 

Hennepin Healthcare is a subsidiary corporation of Hennepin County. Hennepin County Commissioners            provide public oversight and approve budgets for the health system.

 

You can find the commissioner who represents you, with contact information, here: https://www.hennepin.us/your-government/leadership/find-commissioner. If you live outside Hennepin County, you can still advocate by calling one or all of the commissioners. 

 

Leave a message with the commissioner of your choice. If you want support, here is a simple script you are welcome to use, in full or part. I foyu work at hennepin Healthcare, let them know. If you live in the same district as the commissioner you are contacting, let them know you are a voting constituent.  

​

"Hi _____ . This is _________. I support the mission of Hennepin Healthcare and am a voting constituent. (Or, I work at Hennepin Healthcare . . .) I'm concerned that Hennepin Healthcare administrators are slashing the wages of more than 800 front line staff after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a fancy new building. Please let CEO Jon Pryor know AFSCME workers deserve a fair contract. Underpaying and understaffing creates unsafe conditions and detracts from the quality of patient care. Thank you for your time and consideration." 

​

Though we encourage a phone call, you could also send an email. You can use the template provided, but if so inspired, your own words are persuasive. 

​

If you receive confirmation that your commissioner does intend to contact Jon Pryor to support us, please let us know! We'll send them a thank you card.
