M Health Fairview Ambulatory Surgery Centers Ranked #1 & #2 in Minnesota

We’re proud to share exciting news highlighting the excellence of our clinical partners and the impact of our collective work in patient-centered surgical care.

In Newsweek's recently released America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2026 rankings, both the M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center – Minneapolis and M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center – Maple Grove earned top honors in the state of Minnesota. According to the official list, the Minneapolis center was ranked #1, followed closely by the Maple Grove center at #2 statewide.

This achievement underscores the exceptional quality, safety, and patient experience provided by these facilities. The Newsweek rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation of more than 5,000 ambulatory surgery centers nationwide, incorporating quality metrics, peer and clinician surveys, patient experience data, and accreditation information, all designed to spotlight the centers delivering the highest standards of care.

The Department of Anesthesiology plays a critical role in ensuring safe, efficient, and compassionate surgical care across ambulatory settings. This recognition reflects not only the remarkable work of surgical and procedural teams but also strong interdisciplinary collaboration focused on continuous improvement in quality and patient safety.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the care teams at both centers. Their dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to patients embodies the mission of the University of Minnesota and our values in advancing health care for all.
