A Level I Pediatric Surgery Center: Setting the standard

Children’s Minnesota is special. Very few surgery programs in the country can meet the national quality and safety standards that allow them to be recognized as a Level I Children’s Surgery Center. Level I is the highest level of distinction awarded by the American College of Surgeons for health systems that perform routine to complex surgical procedures in newborns, children and teens. Children’s Minnesota is the first and only hospital in Minnesota to earn this honor.

This means at Children’s Minnesota you can expect:

The highest quality and level of pediatric specialized care.
A tailored approach to care based on your child’s personal needs.
Dedicated teams of pediatric professionals who genuinely care about kids.
Exceptionally skilled and experienced surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, pain specialists and more.
Compassionate child life specialists working one-on-one with your family throughout the surgery process.
A gentle, kid-focused kind of care.
