Regions Hospital Cancer Care Center

Regions Hospital is a private, non-profit teaching hospital located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. The hospital is now part of HealthPartners and is an ACS verified Level I Trauma Center for both children and adults, and was the first pediatric level one trauma center in Minnesota.

It was established in 1872 by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners as City and County Hospital, and later became Ancker Hospital in 1923. In 1965, it moved to its current location on Jackson St. and University Avenue, and became St. Paul-Ramsey Hospital in 1977. In 1997, it was renamed Regions Hospital.

The new birth center features water birthing suites, expanded Level II NICU care in partnership with its partner facility Gilette Children’s, and Minnesota’s first enhanced couplet care rooms. In 2013, the cancer center received the “Three-Year with Commendation” and 2013 Outstanding Achievement awards from the American College of Surgeons.
