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.
