Mankato Hospital Expansion and Modernization

Mayo Clinic Health System opened a new $155 million hospital bed tower on the Mankato campus in 2024. Named the Mankato Hospital Expansion and Modernization, this project adds 121 hospital beds in a three-floor vertical expansion.

Hospital floors in the new tower link to the existing hospital and includes:

• A new flexible and expanded ICU and Progressive Care Unit.
• A new Medical-Surgical Unit.
• A new Family Birth Center, including Labor and Delivery, Postpartum and Triage rooms. A cesarean surgical suite and a Level 2 nursery for our youngest patients.

“As part of Mayo Clinic’s Bold. Forward. 2030 strategic plan, the expansion and modernization of the Mankato hospital allows more patients to receive care close to home,” says Prathibha Varkey, M.B.B.S., Mayo Clinic Health System president. “This improves patients’ experiences by reducing transfers to other hospitals, travel time and costs. It also helps foster continuity of care with the local care team.”
