Children’s Minnesota is one of the largest pediatric health systems in the United States and the only health system in Minnesota that provides care exclusively to children, from before birth through young adulthood.

As the “Kids Experts™” in our region, Children’s Minnesota is regularly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top children’s hospital. The organization is also recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of 2023’s Top Diversity Leaders, honoring its leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
