Dr. Brian H. Rank

I am a board certified Hematologist-Oncologist and a proud member of the Hematology/Oncology Department of HealthPartners Medical Group. I am also a faculty member of the University of Minnesota Department of Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation. I received my medical degree and completed my Internal Medicine residency and Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at the University of Minnesota. During my time at medical school and my residency, I found myself drawn to caring for patients with cancer and blood disorders. The privilege and challenge of effectively and compassionately serving patients with cancer and their families is very important to me. Whether aggressively treating a patient with curable cancer, or helping to gently support the hospice care of a patient who is dying, I try to consider each person as though they could be one of my own family members. I enjoy teaching and learning from my patients and their families. My style is to carefully listen and discuss all reasonable options as we decide on a course of action together. I am privileged to work with an outstanding care team of nurses, pharmacists, receptionists and Hematology/Oncology colleagues who care very much about finding the best care, personalized for each patient, and with many other specialty and primary care physician colleagues across our care group who strive to create perfect care for each patient. In addition to my clinical work, I have enjoyed being a leader in medical education, including the Department Chair for Hematology/Oncology, Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Hennepin County Medical Center and President of the HealthPartners Institute for Education and Research. My administrative responsibilities include serving on the Board of Directors of both HealthPartners and Regions Hospital. I have also served as the Executive Medical Director for the Park Nicollet HealthPartners Care Group. I am a native of Minnesota and enjoy the quality of life that we share here. I am a husband and father of three wonderful children who are now grown and starting their own careers.
