In 2009, Ridgeview earned a three-year accreditation as a Chest Pain Center by the Society of Chest Pain Centers—a distinction held by only two other hospitals in the state of Minnesota. Key areas that this Center demonstrates expertise include assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients quickly, as well as continually seeking to improve processes and procedures.  

In our emergency room, wait times are among the best in the nation, well below the national average.
