Mark Ellingson, Grand Forks, letter: Even Altru’s chaplains talk with Mayo colleagues
Altru’s Pastoral Services Department (the chaplains) is in contact with the Mayo Chaplaincy Department to discuss ways we can both improve our spiritual and emotional support for patients. We Altru Chaplains have been both affirmed and challenged to do our work better by partnering with our Mayo colleagues.By Mark Ellingson , July 11, 2012
Dr. Colleen Swank, Grand Forks, column: Altru, Mayo consult routinely and extensively
My colleagues and I work together as a team to deliver the best possible care to our patients — and when we need more advice, it often is a specialist from Mayo who gets our call.By Dr. Colleen Swank , July 11, 2012
Carrie (Brossart) Tobkin, Grand Forks, letter: What does Altru’s Mayo affiliation mean?

Pat Phelps, Grand Forks, letter: Visits elsewhere help patients appreciate Altru
I know how lucky we are to have Altru, not only because I am a former employee but also because I saw firsthand how care was delivered at the other two hospitals.By Pat Phelps , May 26, 2012
Ervin “Mike” Swendseid, Grand Forks, letter: Kudos, Altru, for excellent care
I recently was a patient at our local hospital — Altru Hospital in Grand Forks. The visit reaffirmed my positive opinion of Altru and its clinics. In fact, my opinion was greatly enhanced.

Nancy Roethler, Grand Forks, letter: Altru delivers personal, first-rate care
I have had health care in many cities and at many different clinics and hospitals. But I never have been to a clinic or hospital that does better than Altru does at treating me like an individual, not a number.By Nancy Roethler , May 18, 2012
Jane Amundon, Sharon, N.D., letter: Altru did the right thing for Grand Forks
It took only one line to assure me that Altru executives made the right decision for their business, their 3,000-plus employees and their community. No business or company in today’s climate can afford to lose $6 million to $9 million by losing the Medicare “single provider” status. They had to protect that status. The community depends on Altru remaining stable and viable.By Jane Amundon , May 17, 2012
