Memorial Health Care Systems is a community-based, nonprofit critical access hospital system, founded via community fundraising efforts in memory of World War I and II servicemen. Since opening in September 1950, the system has upheld its mission of enhancing quality of life through excellence in healthcare close to home. The system includes a 24-bed critical access hospital, three family practice clinics, 17 on-site specialty physician clinics, a retail pharmacy and assisted care living, providing a comprehensive continuum of care. Memorial Hospital offers acute and skilled inpatient care, surgical services, 24-hour emergency care, diagnostic services, women’s health and maternity care, skilled rehabilitative care and a walk-in urgent care clinic requiring no appointment. Clinic virtual visits further extend access for patients who face barriers to in-person care. Family physicians, physician assistants and visiting specialists ensure that patients can access both routine and specialized care without traveling far from home.
