Children’s Minnesota’s cardiovascular program is the largest and most comprehensive pediatric heart program in the Upper Midwest. The Edward J. Phillips Cardiovascular Care Center integrates all pediatric cardiovascular services on a single floor and features the region’s highest level of technology, including a dedicated cardiac hybrid operating room and 24/7 pediatric cardiac intensivist coverage. Through the Children’s Heart Clinic, families have convenient access to expert care across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, extending advanced services to rural and underserved communities. The program offers highly specialized services such as fetal cardiology as early as 14 weeks’ gestation, a CMS-certified pediatric heart failure and transplant program, advanced cardiac imaging, the region’s only dedicated pediatric electrophysiology lab, and a child-specific cardiac catheterization laboratory. Innovative programs like single-ventricle home monitoring and “Project ADAM Minnesota” further improve outcomes and community preparedness while reducing unnecessary hospitalizations. Children’s Minnesota publishes approximately 40 cardiovascular studies annually. Its collaboration with Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic, the Mayo Clinic–Children’s Minnesota Cardiovascular Collaborative, has been ranked No. 30 in pediatric heart care by U.S. News & World Report for 2025-26.
