    Our Partnership

    Thanks to a $17.5 million gift from Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare, Children's will be able to enhance trauma care for children across the region with the creation of a
    Level I Pediatric Trauma Center at our Minneapolis campus. It also will fund a significant part of the UnitedHealthcare Pediatric Emergency Department at Children’s in Minneapolis.
