Isn’t Fairview and the University Hospital the same? Or are they just very near to each other? I think Fairview is on the St. Paul campus if I remember correctly.
My daughter and her husband work at Fairview. She called me right after this happened to assure me she was okay. She was on her way to her book club but thought she may be called into work.
My son must have heard about the bridge collapse while at work and tried to call her on her cell right after I got off the phone with her and could not get through. So if you are trying to contact family/friends in the area and do not receive an answer do not panic. The phone lines are just jammed I believe.
There are quite a few of Fairview hospitals in the cities, but the one they are referring to is close to the scene.
They are the same.
But there is a hospital on the West Bank (Fairview Riverside) and one ofn the West Bank (the original U of M Hospital).
So glad to hear your family is safe.
