Freeman Regional Health

The Freeman Regional Health Services Foundation was established in 2009 to support the mission of Freeman Regional Health Services. A primary goal is to raise funds that will enable our local health care organization to pursue projects that will benefit the members of Freeman and surrounding communities for generations to come. The development of the foundation reflects an effort to strengthen the longstanding community support that has helped the hospital and nursing home continue to grow as a viable and successful community-based independent health care facility. Ruth Strasser is the foundation director. Progress is ongoing with changes large and small at Freeman Regional Health Services. New programs have been implemented, equipment updated, and physical improvements to the hospital and nursing home occur regularly. On May 1, 2011, Freeman Regional Health Services, in a joint venture with Avera Medical Group, purchased the practice of the Rural Medical Clinics in Freeman, Menno, Marion and Bridgewater. While FRHS has owned the clinic buildings, the Rural Medical Clinics practice has operated independently. Clinic staff are now employees of Freeman Regional Health Services. Despite the changes large and small, the mission of the hospital remains the same as it was years ago: to provide accessible, community-based quality care that is competent, creative and compassionate. The larger Freeman Community has shown strong support and commitment to the facility over the years and because of that support, the Administration and Board of Directors look to the future with hope and optimism as we continue to work to provide quality care in the years ahead.
