[edit]In December 2018, Children's Minnesota attained Level I Children's Surgery Center verification by the American College of Surgeons. Children's Minnesota is the first and only hospital in Minnesota to earn this distinction of meeting national quality and safety standards for children's surgery.[9]
Children's Minnesota attained Magnet® recognition for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), becoming the only free-standing pediatric system in the state to be recognized by the ANCC with Magnet® designation. Considered the gold standard, Magnet recognizes quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice.
