Minnesota Hospice Voted State’s Best Hospice

LAKEVILLE, Minnesota—Minnesota Hospice has been voted the Gold winner for Hospice Care in the 2026 Minnesota’s Best Awards from the Star Tribune. Gold is the top honor in Minnesota’s largest readers’ choice program.

Minnesota’s Best is decided entirely by public voting. Minnesotans cast more than 970,000 votes across more than 350 categories. Three winners are named in each category: Gold, Silver and Bronze. For Minnesota Hospice, the Gold award reflects votes from across the state, in a contest open to every hospice provider serving Minnesota families.

“The Gold award in hospice care belongs to our entire care team,” said Ken Haglind, founding CEO of Minnesota Hospice. “It is earned one family at a time, and we are humbled to be voted the top hospice in Minnesota … Ten years in, we are incredibly humbled and grateful to hear the families we serve say we are the best.”

Minnesota Hospice is in its 10th year of caring for families across the Twin Cities southern metro. Earlier this month, Minnesota Hospice was also named a Star Tribune Top Workplace for the second consecutive year, ranking among the state’s top 10 small business employers in a separate program based on confidential employee feedback. Minnesota Hospice has also been named Best Hospice in the Sun Current Readers’ Choice Awards for six consecutive years.
