Glencoe Regional Health Services stands as a nonprofit healthcare system in Glencoe, Minnesota, and has served the area since 1941 with several locations in Glencoe, Lester Prairie, and Stewart. The main campus holds a 25-bed critical access hospital, a primary care clinic, an urgent care center that's open from 8am to 7:30pm, a nursing home, and a senior housing complex. The community offers Orchard Estates, a 40-unit independent senior living community, and GlenFields Living with Care, a 108-bed skilled nursing facility. Glencoe Regional Health Services covers needs at every age and stage, with specialties in primary care, diabetes care, family medicine, orthopedics, pain management, wound care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, rehabilitation, and transitional care, and it's got heart care services with unique programs such as TeleHeart for remote visits, stress echocardiograms, MUGA scans, and a device clinic that checks and manages pacemakers and ICDs. The main address at 1805 Hennepin Avenue North is home to both Glencoe Regional Hospital & Clinic and additional services, where people can visit 24 hours a day if needed, and patients at each clinic-whether in Glencoe, Lester Prairie, or Stewart-get a choice of physicians and providers like MDs, DOs, PA-Cs, FNP/CNM, and DPMs. The staff, now more than 550 employees strong, work under values like compassionate care, community service, and teamwork, and you'll find employees who take pride in their work supporting folks through every kind of medical need, whether that's imaging, rehab, sleep medicine, surgical care, or wound and ostomy help.
Seniors who choose Orchard Estates enjoy independence with support close by, while GlenFields Living with Care provides round-the-clock skilled nursing. Glencoe Regional Health Services also features special programs you don't always see in a community hospital, such as dedicated sports medicine with a certified athletic trainer at Glencoe-Silver Lake High School, and vascular and endovascular care for heart and blood vessel issues. Folks get extra help from patient interpreters, a MyChart portal for their records, medical record services, and privacy policies. The organization stays involved in the area, sharing stories through its Touching Lives newsletter and offering health tips, education, and ways to keep safe at every age-there's even a Baby Nursery, Prairie Gifts & Grounds for dining and shopping, and an ongoing effort to provide mental health and substance use disorder treatment information. The hospital is a Level III Trauma Center and stays accredited, though the current certification details can vary. Glencoe Regional Health Services stands as one of the area's larger employers, and it runs with a focus on quality, safe, and accessible medical and senior living care, always aiming to promote health and well-being for everyone who visits or lives there.
