Create a world without heart and vascular disease.
The Importance of Partnership
We partner with 100+ world-class physicians from Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute® to lead research that has a global impact on cardiovascular care for patients.
Because Minneapolis Heart Institute is part of Abbott Northwestern Hospital and United Hospital, we can study and offer cutting-edge treatment to a large number of patients.
Through the passion and innovation of our physician partners, we can continue to conduct cutting-edge research on a daily basis, just as Dr. Katsiyannis describes here:

Our History
The History of Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation
In 1982, 13 physicians from Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute (MHI) had a vision to create MHIF as a nonprofit research organization that would partner with MHI® to fund, support and deliver leading heart and vascular research and education on a local, national and global level.
We are MHIF
We partner with 100+ cardiologists at Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute (MHI), which has been one of the top-rated cardiovascular care centers in the world since 1981 and consistently is awarded with national rankings by US News and World Report for cardiology and heart surgery. Our integration with this high-quality, high-volume cardiovascular care center at Abbott Northwestern Hospital allows us to study and offer cutting-edge treatment to a large number of patients.
