Regional Network of Care

Change text size  

• 1.5 million patient visits per year
• 429 doctors
• 83,200 square mile service area (larger than the states of New York and Maine combined)
• Serving 3 states and Canada: North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota
• 66% of patients live outside of Fargo-Moorhead

A century ago, our first patient, Minnie Stoa, traveled almost 50 miles from Buxton N.D. for a surgery that saved her life—maybe that's why our founders made a bold prediction: The impact of St. Luke's Hospital would reach well beyond Fargo. Thanks to you, today MeritCare has made that prediction a reality.

Quality care close to home

• 26 regional clinics. Unlike our first patient, many of you have quality medical care right across the street. Our regional network spans 250 miles from Jamestown N.D. to Bemidji, Minn.
• 73 medical specialties. By visiting clinics across the region, MeritCare's doctors have made care more convenient. They bring specialized care to you including heart, cancer and reproductive medicine.
• Over 15,000 air ambulance flights. When you need life-saving, high speed transportation, MeritCare LifeFlight's helicopter and airplane are ready, providing a critical link to emergency treatment.
• Depth of regional care. More than clinics, MeritCare offers many services in the region including medical equipment, home care, dialysis and eye services.
