NORTH DAKOTA & MINNESOTA (KVRR) Essentia Health launches a COVID-19 patient rehabilitation program for those suffering with long term effects from the virus.
“I tell people he’s our blueprint. We know how to get somebody better with COVID from about as bad as you can have it and be as worn down from it as you can be,” Essentia Health Outpatient Rehab Services Manager Troy Schmitz said.
Eighty-seven-year-old Ray Schmitz was diagnosed with COVID-19 in October. He’s been in the hospital ever since.

The city’s home-rule charter, which guides many aspects of city government, calls for waiting until after the ordinance reflecting the pay change is published, which can be done shortly after final approval.
Commission members, however, noted the proposed change doesn’t necessarily achieve the anticipated goal, since council elections rotate with three or four members facing re-election in a typical city election.
“If we say after the next election, we are still only going to have part of the city council affected by this particular change,” commission member Kathy Meyerle said.
Fellow commission member Ray Schmitz pointed out that in years when the mayor, who doesn’t directly vote on a salary change, faces re-election, only three voting council members would be on the ballot. The remaining four members would be enough to support a pay increase without being the subject of an election for two years.
