At Children’s Minnesota, we believe children always come first. They are awesomely resilient. Eternally optimistic. Totally fearless. They are what we want to be when we grow up.

“Working in histology I get to use so many of my skills every day: like troubleshooting, multitasking, communication and my technical abilities. While there are similarities day to day, the individual case needs give us a wide variety of tasks which keeps things interesting.”
