For 144 years, Allina Health has taken care of people from birth to end of life. Its network of 12 hospitals, 90 clinics, pharmacies, and specialty clinics set the bar high. Allina has a lengthy list of accolades from World’s Best Hospitals, U.S. News, and others for excellence in hospital care, cardiology, oncology, mother-baby care, rehabilitation, and more. Innovation underlies Allina’s three institutes, where expert clinicians consistently bring new therapies to the bedside. In March, California-based Sutter Health announced its acquisition of Allina, forming a $26 billion nonprofit health care system. Pending approval, the deal would close by the end of 2026.
