Finstad. “This is not only important to the economic development of southern Minnesota but would also help improve health care access for those in our communities.” Finstad continued, “Minnesota’s First District is lucky and proud to have Mayo Clinic in our backyard. With the continued investment and expansion of the hospital on the horizon through their Bold. Forward. Unbound. initiative, reliable air service is essential to ensuring patients and employees have access to time-sensitive medical assistance. I’m hopeful that Secretary Duffy and Administrator Bedford will quickly authorize United’s service from RST to ORD, expanding transportation options for residents across southeastern Minnesota and neighboring areas.” Background: | 1 | 2026-05-13T06:12:22Z | 2026-05-13T06:13:52Z |
