by Greta Cunningham, Minnesota Public Radio

More than 90 health care workers from the University of Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic, and the College of St. Catherine have spread out through rural Louisiana to deliver medical care to people affected by Hurricane Katrina. With Hurricane Rita now expected to hit the region, the Minnesota group is being evacuated to a northern part of Louisiana. The U of M's Dr. Jon Hallberg is with that group, and he talked with MPR's Greta Cunningham.
