About Children’s
Minnesota:
Children’s Minnesota is the seventh largest pediatric health system in the
United States and the only health system in Minnesota to provide care
exclusively to children, from before birth through young adulthood. An independent
and not-for-profit system since 1924, Children’s serves kids throughout the
Upper Midwest at two free-standing hospitals, 12 primary and specialty care
clinics and six rehabilitation sites.
Additionally, Children’s
is Minnesota's only Level I pediatric trauma center inside a hospital dedicated
solely to children. In 2018 Children’s Minnesota was verified as a Level I
Children’s Surgery Center by the American College of Surgeons. Children’s
maintains its longstanding commitment to the community to improve children’s
health by providing high-quality, family-centered pediatric services and
advancing those efforts through research and education.
This work is made
possible in large part by generous philanthropic and volunteer support from
individuals and organizations throughout the state and region. An award-winning
health system, Children’s received Magnet® recognition from The American Nurses
Credentialing Center (ANCC) in 2018 and is regularly ranked by U.S. News &
World Report as a top children’s hospital. Please visit childrensMN.org.
