Help Laura Knutsen Heal After Tragedy

Please help support our friend and coworker, Laura Knutsen. Laura was the victim of a tragic event while out at the Park Tavern in St Louis Park, MN on 9/1/24. Laura was out celebrating with coworkers when a drunk driver drove his car into the patio of the restaurant striking Laura and four of her friends/coworkers, killing one of them (Gabe Harvey) and a waitress from the Park Tavern (Kristina Folkerts). Laura sustained extensive injuries that will involve a long, and physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging recovery ahead.

Laura is a brilliant and funny ICU nurse who goes above and beyond for her patients, friends, and family. Laura has been a nurse at Methodist for 9 years, majority of them on the ICU team. Laura was celebrating her last shift as an RN in the ICU as she was ecstatic to start CRNA school this week.

Please help support and care for Laura and her recovery ahead to help get her back on track to accomplishing her career goal of being a CRNA.
