About University of Minnesota Medical Center
** About Us **
University of Minnesota Medical Center is among the most respected teaching institutions in the nation, balancing responsiveness to patients’ needs and wishes with access to innovative treatments and technology to deliver superior health outcomes. As the core teaching hospital of the University of Minnesota Medical School, our medical center focuses on patient care, which aligns with the medical school's mission of research and education. The result is redefining care delivery through excellence in a wide range of programs and services, from heart transplant surgery to cancer treatment and more.
Located on two campuses -- one on each bank (east and west) of the Mississippi River near downtown Minneapolis -- University of Minnesota Medical Center includes outpatient and inpatient facilities. Comprehensive services range from primary care, emergency care and the delivery of thousands of babies each year, to care of patients with the most complex conditions. Areas of specialization include solid organ and blood and marrow transplantation, heart disease, cancer, neurosciences, pediatrics, and behavioral illnesses.
Dedicated staff members, University of Minnesota Physicians and community physicians live out the Fairview values of dignity, integrity, service and compassion while caring for the whole person, respectfully addressing the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of individuals and their families.
University of Minnesota Medical Center and located within it, University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital, were created in 1997 as a result of the merger between University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic and Fairview Health Services. The medical center and hospital are a division of Fairview Health Services, a statewide network of hospitals, community clinics, home care and hospice services, pharmacies, senior housing, and long-term care facilities.
