The North Memorial Health System
North Memorial Health includes:
- A safety-net hospital under strain (Robbinsdale)
- A hospital generating significant operating income (Maple Grove)
Maple Grove Hospital’s financial position (2025)
- $289.6 million in patient revenue
- Approximately $34 million in operating income
- $48.6 million transferred to the broader system
This shows how resources are shared within the system.
At the same time, North Memorial Health is currently:
- Planning a $450 million expansion at Maple Grove
- Continuing system growth and acquisitions
These choices show how the system is using and investing its resources.
Labor costs are a key part of the financial picture
Maple Grove Hospital has lower labor costs than other parts of the system, driven by differences in pay, pay rates, and benefits for workers.
What this means in practice
- Revenue generated at Maple Grove supports broader system operations.
- System resources are being used for expansion and growth.
- Financial results depend on how each facility manages its costs.

Considerations for policymakers
When reviewing North Memorial Health’s requests for public funding, the following should also be considered:
- The role of profitable facilities within the system
- How system resources are being generated and distributed
- The relationship between labor costs, system margins, and investment decisions
Nurses at Maple Grove and Robbinsdale hospitals do the same work, but those at Maple Grove are paid less and have fewer benefits and protections. If public money is used to support the system, it makes sense to ask if those funds support fair and consistent standards for all workers.
