History

The history of a University of Minnesota pediatric program went as far back as the 1930s when the first pediatric cardiology unit was opened. In 1951, this unit later expanded into a 40-bed pediatric unit at Variety Club Heart Hospital along with a playroom and classrooms. In 1986, pediatric services were brought together in a new building. The new hospital included 3 pediatric units, a neonatal intensive care unit, a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU),and a pediatric bone marrow transplant unit. The new facility was named University-Variety Hospital for Children. On the other side of town, Fairview Health (before merge) first opened its own dedicated pediatric unit in 1955. [5]

The modern day children's hospital first opened up in 2011 at a cost of $25 million and was named Amplatz Children's Hospital. In 2014, the hospital was renamed to University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital. In 1997, M Health merged with Fairview and the hospital is now known as M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital after a large donation. [6] [7] [8] The hospital is 6 stories large and includes multiple different inpatient units. [9]
