Super Bowl LII to impact hospital access in Minneapolis

Road closures make it difficult for patients to reach Hennepin County Medical Center


Super Bowl LII is already impacting hospital access in Minneapolis, according to an article on the Care2 website. The streets surrounding the new U.S. Bank Stadium are already closed.

These road closures are making it difficult for patients to reach Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), the biggest hospital in Minnesota.
