Gaining on Pain: Reason for Optimism
Many have come to the CentraCare Neurosciences Pain Center in search of pain relief — and many have found just that. Here are some success stories.
Barbara Klein
“I never would have expected that in one month I’d be where I am right now. My husband and I can now ride the Harley and spend more time together doing what we enjoy.”
Lisa Pemble
“I think the way they did things was great. I got to do it all in one day and got answers. I would definitely recommend this team approach.”
Jake Johnson
“It certainly has changed my life. I wouldn't hesitate to do it all again.”
John Wilen
“It’s amazing how many more things I’m capable of doing. I would tell other pain patients to not give up. There is hope.”
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
CentraCare care givers have been working around the clock for more than 20 months to care for you, your families and friends during COVID. We are committed to caring for every Minnesotan who needs us, and nothing will prevent us from doing so – even during these never-seen-before times.
The challenge of providing this level of care is that our hospital beds are often full. ERs in all of our hospitals are packed. And our clinical teams are exhausted. Early in the pandemic, our community stepped up in amazing ways to help us. We ask that you again join us in fighting this pandemic together.
How can you help?
- Please get your COVID vaccines and booster shots. They are proven safe and effective in reducing COVID illness, keeping people out of the hospital, and preventing death.
-
If your situation is not an emergency, please use other care options, including:
- Visit CentraCare eClinic online,
- Schedule same-day appointments with your primary care provider,
- Speak with a CentraCare Connect nurse at 320-200-3200, or
- Visit Urgent Care.
- If this is a medical emergency, call 9-1-1, or visit the ER.
Together, we can do this. Thank you for your support.
Ken Holmen, MD
President and CEO
