'We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity'
A Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its “values of respect and justice” — by giving out free Chick-fil-A.
Essentia Health in Duluth wrote to staff last Tuesday after staff clucked about the free sandwiches available in the St. Mary’s Medical Center’s atrium earlier that day.
“We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations,” Tammy Kritzer, senior vice president for regional operations at Essentia Health wrote in an email to medical staff that was obtained by The Daily Wire.
“We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity, and we appreciate all colleagues continuing to live our values of respect and justice,” Kritzer wrote.
Chick-fil-A has drawn the ire of LGBT activists over the years, who have boycotted and staged protests over the company donating to groups like the Salvation Army, which activists claim has “a record of anti-LGBTQ discrimination.” In fact, the company emphasizes that it “values diversity, equity and inclusion” and does not discriminate or tolerate harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
“In the words of Maya Angelou, when we know better, we do better,” the email concluded. “Thank you for giving us grace, as we work to be better, together,” the email read.
Some cities have prevented Chick-fil-A from opening locations at their airports, including Buffalo, New York, and San Antonio, Texas. The chain famously does not open on Sundays to honor the Lord’s Day, Chick-fil-A’s founder explained, likely causing it to lose more than $1 billion a year.
While Essentia staff squawked about the free lunch, they have been silent about some of their employer’s other decisions. The hospital, which did not respond to a request for comment, provides cross-sex hormones and more to minors. According to the Stop The Harm database, Essentia has performed at least five sex change operations on minors.
I am betting they serve halal meat and have their own prayer room which Christians don’t have access to.
Do any Catholics complain when they serve meat during Lent?
I sure as heck would. LOUDLY.
Once one gets on the Degenerates and Freak’s shit list, no amount of ass kissing will get one off the list. Once on, never off.
Not enough.
Jeez, did the hospital roll over and show it’s belly, too?
I guess Chick-fil-a’s anti white stance didn’t give them any quarter.
and a free lunch. Pathetic. Chick should send them a bill
Give ‘em all a double booster.
Trump said the gubmint is run by idiots.
Healthcare is run mostly by loonies.
I have been blessed to get quality healthcare in this country.
There are good doctors and nurses.
That said, be careful, those folk are harder to find, particularly after the scamdemic debacle.
Liberals are nerds without the backbone to ‘complain’ about lunch much less so childish as to complain about a free lunch.
One does not mess with the Lord’s chicken!
Praying to the Lord on High that I am never ever forced to patronize such a mentally defective institution!
That’s fine. More chicken for me.
“”I read this, and only one word comes to mind, “PATHETIC”!””
I read it also and the only word that comes to my mind is: HUH? I don’t know what the complaint is. Is it just to be complaining - about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING? Seems to be the trend!
Apparently, Chick-fil-A aggravates HIV infection. Maybe that’s why they were upset.
Bttt
You’re not allowed to stop being the whipping boy
someone once said, ‘stupid is as stupid does’ or something like that
The Rainbow Mafia will not be crossed. Now the 99% do not get free sandwiches.
Cool, that can be the last company-paid employee lunch ever. That would be my response.
St. Mary’s. Really? What a wonderful Christian message!
