There are 8 more within a short drive of Minneapolis, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Minneapolis often still has to be in person.

There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Ask what is scheduled for the first seven days after discharge.
