Andrea Walsh, President & CEO

Whether it’s partnering with national and local organizations, or volunteering at our clinics and hospitals, we can all work together to improve the health and wellness of our community.

HealthPartners is transforming the delivery and financing of health care by listening to our customers and communities, and providing products and services that meet their needs.

HealthPartners Institute supports our mission through research, education and practice. Countless patients, clinicians, health plans, scientists and communities rely on our methods and findings. We currently have over 400 studies underway.
