M Health Fairview home to nearly 150 “Rising Stars” recognized by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine in 2022
M Health Fairview is home to more “Rising Stars” than any other Twin Cities health system – and these young doctors are just getting started.
This week, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine named 148 of our doctors across 50 specialties to its 2022 Top Doctors: Rising Stars list. The award recognizes physicians who have been practicing for 10 years or less. Winners were nominated by their peers and selected as “Rising Stars” after a rigorous evaluation process by an expert physician panel.
Our honorees include doctors from Fairview and M Physicians who see patients at M Health Fairview clinics and hospitals. Our “Rising Stars” bring world-class care to communities throughout Minnesota – driven by the innovation and excellence that set M Health Fairview apart.
“These doctors are who their peers would recommend to friends and family – and they are just getting started in their careers,” said Fairview Chief Medical Officer Mark Welton, MD, MHCM. “We’re thrilled to have so many ‘Rising Stars’ at M Health Fairview, knowing that these are excellent providers that Minnesotans can grow and thrive with for years to come.”
“We are proud of the exceptional physicians who have been recognized as this year’s Rising Stars,” said Otolaryngologist Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, CEO of M Physicians. “It is heartening to see in these honorees the future of outstanding care for Minnesota’s communities.”
