Information Distribution Calendar

Please join with us at any of these HealthPartners clinic locations in Minnesota and help with the information distribution. These distributions are extremely effective as we have already received reaction from the clinics we have visited.

Progress Report and Action Items

Information Distributions and Rallies

Things are continuing to heat up with HealthPartners. Since beginning our efforts in November 2006, there have been information distributions at 13 HealthPartners clinics around the Twin Cities. Thousands of brochures exposing HealthPartners have been distributed to patients and employees at these clinics. Thousands of others have seen the large placards as they have driven past these clinics during these distributions. The effectiveness of this type of activity is amazing.

Additionally, about 100 people joined with us on January 22, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, in front of Regions Hospital (the location of the HealthPartners abortuary) to pray for the babies killed there and to pray for the success of our efforts to change HealthPartners.

We have had two large prayer rallies at strategic HealthPartners clinics. The February 26 rally was at one of HealthPartners' largest clinics – at 401 Phalen Blvd, St. Paul. The second large prayer rally was on March 19 at 3333 University Ave. SE., Minneapolis (next to the TV Channel 5 News station at University and 280).

Petition Drive

We have begun receiving petitions back and continue to daily. More petitions are available through our office or as a PDF file which can be sent via email. Please note our online petition option at www.savehealthpartners.com/sign.html. A great way to get a large number of petitions signed is to have a petition signing Sunday at your church. We can provide all the petitions necessary and brochures explaining HealthPartners involvement in abortion. Petitions were presented to HealthPartners at their annual meeting on April 18. We will continue to cllect signatures and testimonies and will present these to HelthPartners on future occasions. Please spread the word about our petition!

An important prayer rally took place during the HealthPartners Annual Meeting on April 18.

These events are meant to really shake things up and bring media attention to HealthPartners and our efforts.

Boycott HealthPartners

We have heard from many who have switched their health coverage away from HealthPartners. If you are in a position to make a change, we strongly encourage you to do so. But please make sure you clearly communicate to HealthPartners the reason for leaving and that you would be willing to return should they close the abortuary at Regions Hospital. If you cannot make a change, please communicate to HealthPartners your desire to leave and their need to close the abortuary at Regions.
