This project reflects the hospital’s long-standing commitment to innovation and advancing specialty care. Abbott Northwestern Hospital has been a cornerstone of south Minneapolis for over 140 years, evolving from the founding of Northwestern Hospital for Women and Children in 1882, through the establishment of Abbott Hospital and Eitel Hospital, to its current status as a leading regional medical center. It maintains full accreditation with gold commendation from the Commission on Cancer and holds a fourth Magnet Recognition Program® designation, reflecting excellence in nursing.
