At Mercy Hospital our mission is to provide exceptional care. We are committed to the highest standards of safety and quality in the care we provide and we are proud of our outstanding record of safety and quality. Despite our extraordinary commitment to safety, accidents happen.
On the morning of Tuesday, January 22, a highly unusual, isolated incident occurred at Mercy Hospital. An investigation is ongoing.
Events like this are extraordinarily rare. Nothing like this has occurred at any Allina facility within memory, and we are unaware of any other hospital experiencing such an event.
The facts of the event, as we know them and are at liberty to share, are as follows:
Mercy Hospital officials are working with the Coon Rapids and Minnesota state fire departments to investigate the cause of this incident, and evaluate the equipment being used. We are also in touch with the FDA.
Our investigation to date suggests that this was an isolated incident. We are working to understand the cause and will take precautionary measures.
Allina is committed to doing everything possible to understand the cause of this event, and to prevent anything like it from happening again. Our thoughts are with the infant and the parents and we are all hopeful for a quick recovery.
