Children’s Minnesota Stories

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Children's Minnesota, we're sharing compelling stories about the people who helped get us here. In this blog, we focus on the 1930s.

Children’s Minnesota has a medical dog named Riggs, who joined the team in May 2023. Riggs spreads his time out to different care areas, but he spends a lot of time with our patients at the Center for the Treatment of Eating Disorders (CTED).
