SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Sanford Health Friday issued a statement countering CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft’s email saying he had the coronavirus, was likely immune, and that he would not wear a mask.
Stanford’s statement:
Kelby Krabbenhoft’s email was based on his own experience with COVID-19 and his personal opinions about the virus. They do not reflect the views of our health system as a whole. Sanford Health’s position is the same as it has always been – consistently wearing masks, avoiding crowds and staying home if you’re sick are critical to preventing the spread of the virus. It is important to follow CDC guidelines. We continue to be incredibly grateful to our frontline workers who are stepping up every day to take care of our patients.
Micah Aberson
Executive Vice President, Sanford Health
