Securian Financial Donates $1 Million To Children’s Minnesota For New Inpatient Mental Health Unit

Securian Financial is donating $1 million to Children's Minnesota's first inpatient mental health unit. The 22-bed unit at the health system's St. Paul hospital is expected to serve kids and teens beginning in the fall. Securian Financial's principal gift is the first corporate commitment to the mental health program at Children's Minnesota.

The inpatient unit is the next step in Children's Minnesota's plan to improve access to pediatric mental health services in the region. In 2021, the system saw a 30% increase in kids presenting to our emergency departments in mental health . . .
