Improving health and well-being

Research and education, together

HealthPartners Institute supports our mission through research, education and practice. Here, we put research and education to good use – for your health. That way our doctors can provide better care for all types of diseases, injuries and illnesses.


Better health through innovative research

We’re proud to say that experienced researchers lead all our projects. Our research areas include mental health, neuroscience, diabetes, cancer care and prevention, and more. We also work with collaborators from around the world. Many of our study participants are located right here in the Twin Cities metro area.
