In 1877, Dr. Amos Abbott rented a small house in Minneapolis to treat his patients. By 1902, he moved to larger accommodations—a yellow brick, three-story house that held 15 beds. Known as Abbott Hospital, patients were carried to and from the operating room on the second floor. This was often accomplished by an attendant named Jamey, who slung patients over his shoulder on the flight of stairs. Meanwhile, in 1882, Minneapolis community leader Harriet G. Walker gathered ten women and rented a house they called Northwestern Hospital for Women and Children. Experiencing the same need for more space that Dr. Abbott faced, they moved to a second home in 1883. In 1887, the hospital moved to a permanent location at the corner of Chicago and 27th Street. Just over 100 years later the two hospitals merged to become Abbott Northwestern Hospital. Today, the 627-bed teaching and specialty hospital is the largest not-for-profit hospital in the Twin Cities and a part of the Allina Health network of hospitals and clinics. U.S. News ranked Abbott Northwestern among America’s Best Hospitals with six adult specialties ranked in the top 50 in the United States. Abbott Northwestern Hospital 1882 – Present: A Celebrated History is told through the recollections and stories of celebrated individuals whose contributions have helped shaped this remarkable institution. In doing so, the history of Abbott Northwestern is now preserved and documented for both historians and future generations of health care providers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous History!!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

    I was especially excited to find this recently since I had a long association with Abbott, Abbott Northwestern & Westminster Presbyterian Church. I was a volunteer at Abbot as a teenager, had my first paid job there, was a nurse there & through the merger for 35 years. Dr Scott has compiled a wonderful history of the hospitals, of health care in general & even of Minneapolis but I was very disappointed to realize there is no mention of the psychiatry departments. Why?? Joan Tomlinson Hempstead Hancock-Dow

    Information is inaccurate. Grammer is poor. I feel like they didn't hire an editor
