Why choose Children’s Minnesota as a new parent
It’s true what they say about raising a child — it does take a village. And when you’re brand new to parenting, that couldn’t be more true.
We at Children’s Minnesota want to be part of your village, to join forces with your family — and to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to your baby. From birth to the toddler years and throughout childhood and adolescence and young adulthood, we’ll be with you on the journey.
Because we’re the only health system in Minnesota that cares exclusively for kids, it’s our job to be the experts in children’s health. In fact, we’re the regional leader in pediatrics — with the most specialists across more than 60 areas of care. We’ll help you face just about anything life throws your way.
With nine primary care clinics and one adolescent clinic conveniently located throughout the metro area, two hospitals, and 24/7 emergency rooms, we are equipped to handle both routine and complex care needs.
Choosing the right pediatrician
A great pediatrician can have a powerful impact on your child’s wellbeing for many years — and build your confidence as a parent, giving you support, encouragement and knowledge.
Pediatricians are medical doctors who specialize in the care of infants, children, adolescents. They work closely with you and your family to ensure your baby reaches all their growth milestones, provide advice and care when they’re unwell, and serve as a trusted resource as your child grows.
At Children’s Minnesota, our pediatricians are dedicated partners in your child’s health journey, from their first check-up within 3-5 days of birth to young adulthood. We are committed to supporting your child’s total health — mind, body and spirit.
