As the largest private hospital in the Twin Cities, Abbott Northwestern is recognized nationally and locally for its exceptional expertise and care. Each year, the hospital serves more than 200,000 patients and their families from across the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest. With our enhanced precautions and virtual care options, we’re ready to safely care for you whenever you need us. Construction along I-35W between downtown Minneapolis and Crosstown Highway 62 will be closing traffic lanes, bridges and ramps through November 2021. Access to Abbott Northwestern Hospital will remain open at all times, but expect your drive time to be two or three times its usual length due to detours and traffic congestion.
