Caring for our community
Methodist Hospital opened its doors in 1959 with 276 beds. As the 20th century drew to a close, the hospital merged with Park Nicollet Clinic, and the newly named Park Nicollet Foundation expanded its mission to serve community health needs. Today the hospital has grown to 426 beds and admits more than 30,000 patients annually, but the foundation’s mission of partnering to build healthy lives is still the heart of our work.
We continually strive to enhance the patient and family experience, promote innovation and research and respond to the health care needs of our community. Together with Park Nicollet, we work with schools, nonprofits, community agencies and local governments to develop innovative solutions to complex community health issues - all with the support of generous and compassionate donors.

Community Health Needs Assessment
Methodist Hospital completes a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years as part of our ongoing commitment to help our communities be healthier.
Our most recent CHNA occurred in 2024. We were part of a comprehensive CHNA that included all HealthPartners hospitals. We worked with the HealthPartners Institute to analyze health data and input from local community members.
The top priority needs identified are:
- Mental health & wellbeing
- Social drivers of health
- Access to care
