Children's Minnesota

At Children’s Minnesota, we get to see amazing every day. The fighting spirit of a 24-week-old preemie. The resilient five-year-old learning to walk again. And the sense of pure optimism we see in every child. We believe children are the most amazing people on Earth — and that drives us to do everything we can to live up to the privilege of caring for them.
