The FAMC
provides a broad range of services and programs, both primary and
secondary, to a population of more than 2,600 in Faulkton and the surrounding
county. FAMC serves as a magnet for residents of the surrounding
area with many patients driving miles to receive specialty services.
Physicians, mid-levels, and professional staff are on call 24 hours per
day, providing ambulance service, diagnostic lab and x-ray service, emergency
service, and acute care.
As
the population density decreases and our citizens become increasingly
older, as is happening in most rural areas across the U.S.,
we see an increasing need for specialty medical services including home care, cardiology, oncology, therapy, rehabilitation, and various
wellness programs.
