Allina opens new heart surgery center in Edina

Allina Health System is continuing its push to open more free-standing surgery centers across the Twin Cities with a new facility in Edina that's focused solely on heart patients.

The surgery center, which treated its first patient on Oct. 25, is part of an ongoing partnership between Allina and a division of Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group to open more of these outpatient facilities.

Their joint venture started with one surgery center in 2019 and will include nine centers by early 2023, said Dave Slowinske, senior vice president for operations at Minneapolis-based Allina. The goal is to provide more care in facilities that are lower cost, he said, and more convenient for patients.
