About Children's Minnesota

Children’s Minnesota is one of the largest pediatric health systems in the United States and the only health system in Minnesota to provide care exclusively to children, from before birth through young adulthood. Since 1924, we have served the Upper Midwest with two free‑standing hospitals, nine primary care clinics, multiple specialty clinics, and seven rehabilitation sites. We are regularly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top children’s hospital and recognized by Modern Healthcare as a 2023 Top Diversity Leader.

The pharmacy department is staffed by registered pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians trained in pediatric pharmacy. We provide inpatient and ambulatory medication management, compounding, IV production, and medication therapy management across inpatient, outpatient, and home infusion settings. Our pharmacists partner with providers for daily medication rounds and participate in residency education.
