Healthcare in St. Paul
According to United Health Foundation’s “America’s Health: State Health Rankings,” Minnesota tied New Hampshire as the healthiest state in the nation. That recognition is due in large part to the Saint Paul/East Metro area’s commitment to offering some of the nation’s finest healthcare.
For the second consecutive year, a University of Florida report recently ranked the University of Minnesota as one of the top public research universities in the country, and the Mayo Clinic (located southeast of the Saint Paul/East Metro area in Rochester) affords residents access to one of the nation’s top medical centers. Mayo Clinic offers diagnosis and treatment in virtually every medical and surgical specialty, and serves as a regional standard for medical practice, research and education.
The University of Minnesota Medical School provides high-quality healthcare and serves as a major medical research facility. Consistently ranked among the top 15 institutions in the country, the University of Minnesota Medical School maintains affiliate relationships with many hospitals in the Twin Cities area, affording medical students practical experience in a variety of healthcare settings. Patients benefit from this relationship, gaining early access to new methods of treatment as a result of university research. The strong partnership between the university and the community is also indicative of the state’s innovative approach to healthcare.
The number of citizens without health insurance in Minnesota is lower than the national average, with more coverage provided by private health insurance companies. The majority of managed care is provided by non-profit organizations — including health insurers, HMOs, hospitals and long-term care providers (including Allina Hospitals and Clinics, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, HealthEast Care System, HealthPartners and Medica).
