The University of Minnesota and its medical school announced the MPact Health Care Innovation vision, which will advance the university’s leadership and partnerships to strengthen Minnesota’s healthcare and health professions. 

The vision aligns with the university's systemwide strategic plan, MPact 2025, which outlines the institution’s initiative to develop and embrace new healthcare delivery models, cutting-edge discoveries and technologies based on health science research. 

The vision is rooted in the university's full control of the existing healthcare facilities on its Twin Cities campus — the University Medical Center East and West Bank facilities, the Masonic Children’s Hospital and the Clinics and Surgery Center — and the eventual development of a new medical center on the east bank of the Twin Cities campus.
