What’s Changing, and What’s Not
As Fariview ushers in a new chapter in its history, you may begin to notice visual updates at different locations at different times. Some hospitals and clinics will display their refreshed brand sooner than others—and that’s expected.
What is not changing:
The expertise of your care teams
The compassion you experience
The comprehensive services and care you rely on
Your appointments, providers, and access to care remain the same. This includes access to all University of Minnesota Physicians providers, who
will continue to see patients throughout our health system.
Ebenezer believes that people are not divided by “old” and “young.” Life is full of steps, and we’re here to offer as much or as little support as you need.
Ebenezer Senior Living provides ten different living options from Cooperatives & Condos and Independent Living to Assisted Living to Enhanced Care to Adult Day Programs. Learn more here: www.ebenezercares.org/senior-living.
