Show Notes
Last fall, the state of North Dakota had the highest COVID-19 rate per capita in the world and Sanford Medical Center in Fargo was nearly overwhelmed with COVID patients from as far away as Montana. Dr. Doug Griffin, Sanford Health vice president and medical officer, talks with Stephanie Desmon about how the hospital got through that crisis and what things are like today, his fears of another surge, and the hope that a robust vaccination plan will keep COVID-19 cases in check.
