Plan the work location in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis distinguishes residential neighborhoods from broader communities. Greater Longfellow includes Cooper, Hiawatha, Howe and Longfellow; Bloomington is a separate city. Use the actual hospital address and the exact neighborhood or municipality.
A Minneapolis employer should describe the clinical team and verify its current credentials, including the Minnesota technician licensing transition that began in July 2026. Give candidates the hospital’s schedule and support arrangements alongside its location.
