About 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.
