On February 18th, Burnsville officers Paul Elmstrand, Matthew Ruge, and paramedic Adam Finseth were killed in the line of duty. As a tribute for their sacrifice, the EPPA physicians at Southdale and Ridges ask you to join us by donating blood. This site represents a pledge to donate blood. If you make a pledge, the next step is to visit the American Red Cross to find a time and place to donate (https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive). Send a photo of yourself while donating to [email protected]. Family members and friends are welcome to participate. We will create a photo wall in the Ridges ED to give a final salute to these men who died in service to our community.
For those who also wish to make a monetary donation to benefit the families of the men, please visit:
