History of the Fergus Falls Medical Group
The Fergus Falls Medical Group is the result of a merger
between the Fergus Falls Clinic and the Park Region Medical
Center in 1967.
The Fergus Falls Clinic was founded in 1902, and the Park
Region Medical Center in 1939. The merger of these two
groups, and their combined dedication to quality medical care,
has resulted in a large multi-specialty group today with physician
specialists, mid-level providers, and medically trained
professionals available to provide comprehensive up-to-date
medical care.
In 1970, the Medical Group moved into their present
building, which offers direct access to Lake Region Healthcare
Corporation.
With the addition of Clinics in Ashby, Battle Lake, at the WestRidge Mall, and most recently the addtion of the Wheaton Community Health Center, Valley Clinic at Browns Valley and the Herman Clinic, services have expanded to make quality
health care more convenient for our out-of-town patients.
The Medical Group has a long history of providing quality
care to its patients and that is our commitment for the future.
Surgery
Limited surgical procedures and treatment of fractures can
be done at the clinic. For more extensive surgery you will be
admitted to Lake Region Healthcare Corporation.
Some insurance companies require a second opinion before
surgery, or they may limit procedures which can be done on an
inpatient basis. Before surgery, check with our Patient Care
Coordinator or the hospital business office to determine if there
are any restrictions on your insurance policy.
Hospitalization
All physicians of the Fergus Falls Medical Group are
members of the medical staff of Lake Region Healthcare
Corporation. Lake Region Healthcare Corporation is a leader
in providing quality health care in our area, and offers a wide
variety of technologically advanced services. Lake Region
Healthcare Corporation’s web site address is www.lrhc.org.
