Connecting research, education and patient care
Our impact on health and well-being is driven by the connection of research and education to patient care and the community. We have several centers that focus on these connections.
Cancer Research Center
Through our Cancer Research Center, patients gain access to research at their community hospital or clinic. We offer clinical trial opportunities to patients at all HealthPartners and Park Nicollet cancer clinic locations.
Center for Chronic Care Innovation
Through our Center for Chronic Care Innovation, we connect research with practice by developing innovative tools designed to improve the quality of chronic disease care and prevention. We also collaborate with national and international experts to develop methods to improve care.
Center for Evaluation and Survey Research
We provide health-related evaluation and survey services to HealthPartners departments and the broader research community to improve health and well-being of our patients, members and community. We support programs in measuring their impact on every aspect of care from quality and cost to experience.
Center for Oral Health Integration
Our Center for Oral Health Integration improves patient care by addressing the complex relationship between oral and overall health. We are uniquely positioned to explore this intersection and develop new approaches to prevention and treatment.
Critical Care Research Center
Our practice-based team at Regions Hospital conducts innovative projects that span the patient care continuum — from the 911 call to the day the patient leaves the hospital. We focus on understanding the work of clinicians in the critical care environment, identifying best practices and exploring innovations in care delivery.
International Diabetes Center
For more than 50 years, our mission has been to ensure that every person with diabetes or at risk for diabetes receives the best possible care. We are known throughout the world for patient education, professional training, research and models for patient-centered care and quality improvement.
Neuroscience Research Center
The impact of our Neuroscience Research Center is felt across HealthPartners and the community. That’s because we conduct research in partnership with neurological care. Our studies take place in HealthPartners Neuroscience Center, Struthers Parkinson’s Center, Regions Hospital, Methodist Hospital as well as several clinics.
Pregnancy and Child Health Research Center
Through our Pregnancy and Child Health Research Center, we support and partner on research that addresses the well-being and health of pregnant people, children and families – including adolescents and young adults.
TRIA Research and Education Center
TRIA Research and Education Center advances orthopedic care through innovative research and education, and by measuring our performance with patient-centered outcomes so we can improve the quality of our care.
