History

The hospital was established in 1872 by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners as City and County Hospital. It later became Ancker Hospital in 1923, named after its superintendent Dr. Arthur Ancker. In 1965, it moved to its current location on Jackson St. and University Avenue and became St. Paul-Ramsey Hospital. In 1977 the hospital's name became St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center when the north section of the building is added to the Ramsey campus. In 1997, it was renamed Regions Hospital. In early 2019 Regions Hospital started construction on a new 55 bed birth center, which opened in mid August 2020. The new birth center features water birthing suites, expanded Level II NICU care in partnership with its partner facility Gilette Children's, and Minnesota's first enhanced couplet care rooms. This expands the hospital's total bed count to 509.
