On behalf of our entire team of researchers, physicians, nurses and other staff at University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital, we are pleased to send you the 2010 Mothers’ and Children’s Specialty Directory (PDF). The Directory gives an overview of our more than 50 pediatric specialties and highlights the programs and services that each specialty offers. In addition, the Directory includes information about support services that are an integral part of the care that we provide.

When you refer your patients to University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital, you can be confident that they will receive the highest quality of care. As Minnesota’s first children’s hospital, we have been breaking new ground in cures and care for mothers and children for nearly a century. Today, with more than 800 staff, 200 physicians, hundreds of researchers and more than 100 medical residents, University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital continues to be a robust and vibrant health-care facility for children, their mothers and other women. Our superior care has earned us U.S. News & World Report’s best children’s hospital rankings in three specialty areas, as well as other accolades for our expertise.

University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital does not rest on its laurels. As one of the nation’s top 20 pediatric research programs, we continually strive to identify new treatments and cures.
