Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute

Improving patient care and the health of our community through research and education

The mission of the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute (HHRI) is to improve patient care and the health of our community through research and education. At HHRI, we have been actively investigating the causes of and potential treatments for diseases since 1952. We support and oversee the medical research conducted at Hennepin Healthcare HCMC, an acute care research and teaching hospital located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. In an academic environment that emphasizes patient care, research and teaching, HHRI helps offer patients better care now and hope for improved healthcare in the future. Our research subjects are diverse with a focus on four areas: Acute Care/Trauma, Addiction, Health Services and Infectious Diseases. HHRI is the one of the largest medical research non-profits in Minnesota and consistently ranks in the top 10 percent nationally of all institutions receiving research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
