For the 15th year in a row, our dedication to compassionate care and our world-class expertise at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital have been recognized by U.S. News and World Report.
On June 14, U.S. News and World Report released its 2022-2023 Best Children’s Hospitals list, and Masonic Children’s Hospital is among the top-ranked children’s hospitals in the U.S. for the 15th year in a row. We are proud to be the oldest academic children’s hospital in Minnesota and the longest-running top-ranked children’s hospital in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
“This recognition year after year wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of all of our team members, who strive to provide the best care possible for our patients and families,” said Maria Raines, MS, APRN, ACNS-BC, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer for M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital and M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center. “Through their unwavering dedication we look forward to continuing this legacy of excellence in serving our community.”
U.S. News and World Report introduced its “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings in 2007 to help families of children with rare or life-threatening illnesses find the best medical care. The rankings recognize the top 50 pediatric hospitals across the U.S. in 10 specialties, ranging from diabetes care to urology.
To produce the list, the publication reviews data from nearly 200 medical centers and evaluates a range of factors, including patient safety, infection prevention, adequacy of nurse staffing, and an annual survey of over 11,000 pediatric specialists.

“We’re proud to be able to provide innovative, personal care through our partnership with the University of Minnesota,” said Sameer Gupta, MD, Vice President of Medical Affairs at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital. “This honor reflects our status as the oldest academic children’s hospital in the state with a history of pioneering advances in pediatric cardiology, surgery, cancer care, and numerous other areas. Our expert care and commitment to research help us treat children closer to home and develop medical breakthroughs to improve children’s lives across the globe.”
