Children’s Minnesota is proud to congratulate our 155 physicians who were recognized as 2017 Top Doctors by Minnesota Monthly magazine.

Children’s Minnesota was selected as the best hospital in Twin Cities Business Magazine's Best of Business 2017 list.

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine celebrated excellence in Twin Cities nursing by toasting 82 finalists and recognizing 16 winners of the coveted Outstanding Nurses Awards, including two winning Children's Minnesota nurses.

The 21st edition of the list includes more than 800 doctors from across the Twin Cities, and 196 from Children's.

Congratulations to the 196 Children’s physicians recognized by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as 2017 Top Doctors. The 21st edition of the list includes more than 800 doctors from across the Twin Cities. Physicians were asked to nominate one or more doctors (excluding themselves) whom they would choose if they or a loved one were seeking medical care. From there, candidates were grouped into 45 specialties and on myriad factors, including (but not limited to) peer recognition, professional achievement, and disciplinary history. Doctors who had the highest scores from each grouping were invited to serve on a blue-ribbon panel that evaluated the other candidates.

Children’s has once again been honored by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Children’s Hospital, with the pulmonology program ranking 34th. Additionally, in partnership with the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital, Children’s was ranked 31st in nephrology in the nation for 2017-2018.

Children's Minnesota was given the Patient Safety Improvement Award by the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) for the Comfort Promise campaign.

Children's Minnesota was selected as the April SPS Hospital of the Month.
