Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and heart transplant surgeon Bill Frist will speak in Minneapolis Saturday evening for an event with the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation.

Since leaving the Senate, Frist has focused his work on several health-related issues. He chairs a group called Hope Through Healing Hands and writes a regular column for "The Week" that usually focuses on health.

Frist talked to The Daily Circuit earlier this week about whether the candidates were having the right debate over health care.
