"*o of gundersen health system scott rathgaber tells me it's important not to lose ground.

In order to keep friends and families healthy and ease the strain on our hospitals everyone has to rededicate to following proven safety practices.

Rathgaber says the lack of consistency can impact the rise in covid hospitalization s which threatens community care.

< we're asking folks, once again, despite the fatigue to step up.

Do what they did this summer and help us care for the whole community.

As health systems we can't do it alone because of the crush of the increase so those folks that are following the guidelines thank you, it makes a difference.> coronavirus the health systems say as the holidays approach and we enter into flu season... it's even more important to not let our guard down..

Saying in a press release quote "your actions make a difference ?

"* together, we will succeed."
