The medical center and University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, were created in 1997 as a result of the merger of the University of Minnesota Hospitals and Clinics with Fairview Health Services. In 2014, Children's Hospital was renamed University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital in recognition of the financial support that Minnesota Masonic Charities has given the medical center over the past 60 years.{{cite web|title=M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital|url=http://mhealth.org/locations/buildings/university-of-minnesota-masonic-childrens-hospital/|access-date=8 November 2019}}{{Cite web|date=2014-10-14|title=U Of M Children's Hospital Renamed For Largest Donor|url=https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/10/14/u-of-m-childrens-hospital-renamed-for-largest-donor/|access-date=2020-03-18|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|title=$25M gift brings new name to U's Children's Hospital|url=http://www.startribune.com/25m-gift-brings-new-name-to-u-s-children-s-hospital/279137861/|access-date=2020-03-18|website=Star Tribune}} In 2018, the medical center announced a $111 million renovation and expansion project.{{Cite web|title=Innovation and patient care drive $111 million construction project at University of Minnesota Medical Center {{!}} MHealth.org|url=https://www.mhealth.org/blog/2018/august-2018/innovation-patient-care-drive-construction-project-university-of-minnesota-medical-center|access-date=2020-11-05|website=www.mhealth.org}}

The hospital's merger with M Health Fairview was called into question when Fairview planned a merger with Sioux Falls-based Sanford Health. Having the flagship state institution for medical training operated by an out-of-state corporation with its own unranked medical school raised red flags both within the University medical community and the state government. Fairview agreed to spin off the University hospital in 2023, but as of March 18 it was uncertain whether it would be a charitable gift or a sale {{cite web|title=Fairview, Sanford say university can take hospital back, but details still unclear|url=https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-transactions-and-valuation/fairview-sanford-say-university-can-take-hospital-back-but-details-still-unclear.html|access-date=18 March 2023}}
