Way s to C a r e f o r K ids
Our new, inspiring facility provides patient- and family-centered care for
mothers and children in more than 50 pediatric and maternal services.
As Minnesota’s first green children’s hospital, the facility features an
environmentally sensitive design, eco-friendly materials and green spaces,
including a healing garden. The 96-bed hospital has a dedicated pediatric
emergency department with 10 treatment rooms, two trauma bays, six stateof-the-art operating suites, and a children’s observation and sedation unit.
Designed for Safety
In our new facility, a team of hospital experts, architects and safety
design professionals worked to create a safer, more effective and efficient
health-care environment. Safety features in the facility include decentralized
team stations, which allow care providers to spend less time outside patient
rooms and eliminate distances and distractions that can undermine safety.
Same-handed rooms encourage repetition and standardization that reduce
the chance for errors.
Designed for Experience
A guiding principle for the hospital has been separation of the “on-stage”
public areas used by patients and families and the “off-stage” areas staff
need to be provide seamless care. On each patient floor, a central corridor
with dedicated service elevators are used to bring all supplies, laundry,
medications and equipments to units, greatly reducing noise and clutter in
the main corridors.
Designed for Teamwork and Collaboration
Patient and family involvement in the treatment of children is central to the
hospital’s approach to care. That’s why the children’s hospital created space
and design features that support parents being at the hospital as much as
possible. Large, private patient rooms, family lounges, and laundry facilities
all allow families to have a more comfortable experience.
Designed for Research and Collaboration
University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital partners with one of the
country’s largest research universities — the University of Minnesota and its
Department of Pediatrics. Our treatments, preventions, devices and protocols
are adopted by community hospitals and physicians throughout the United
States and around the world. As a result, we often treat the children no one
else can.
Our physician researchers are leaders in academic medicine, developing the
next generation of best treatments for children and bringing those medical
breakthroughs to our patients. We provide award-winning, internationally
recognized care in areas that include stem-cell therapies, kidney disorders,
cancer, transplantation, cystic fibrosis and more.

who have CF. the philosophy of the Minnesota CF Center is to diagnose and
start appropriate treatment at the earliest age possible to prevent or attenuate
the rate of disease progression.
Our CF team’s clinical research applied to patient care, has led to our
patients — ages 6 to 17 years old — having the best lung function in
the nation. As part of the the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s therapeutics
development Network, our patients are among the first to participate
in the development of better treatments for this disease. In addition, our
Center was the first program in Minnesota to offer infant pulmonaryfunction testing, and nasal potential-difference testing.
Because CF often affects several body organs and functions — and related
complications can vary by patient age — our CF experts, specialists,
geneticists and counselors work together as a team. Our team approach,
which includes patients and their families in care and treatment planning,
ensures that the most comprehensive care is provided to each patient.

Additional programs and services:
Newborn Screening Program
the CF Center provides diagnostic
evaluation of infants who test positive
for CF on newborn screening. As well,
the center provides comprehensive
treatment and management for
those infants and children who are
diagnosed with CF later.
A dedicated coordinator works
with the families and referring
physicians to provide information
and guidance throughout the
process. the coordinator arranges
same-day consultations with a CF
provider as needed, or genetic
counseling for the families whose
child is not diagnosed with CF.

providers after admission and initial evaluation, as well as
during patients’ hospital stays and upon discharge
• Collaborative care between University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s
