Bridges Medical Center is one of the finest rural health care facilities in the State of Minnesota, and will serve as a model for other communities looking to develop and construct in the future. Currently Bridges Medical Center employs three full time general family practitioners and one nurse practitioner.
Bridges also works very closely with major hospitals in nearby metro areas.
Features of the center include a therapy pool for more extensive physical therapy, much expanded in and out patient surgery, a female doctor that specializes in women's health issues, plus additional equipment that will dramatically assist stroke an heart attack victims. A monitor defibrillator stationed on the Norman County Ambulance will allow emergency personnel to take an EKG on the spot electronically sending the results to the hospital. This technology greatly improves the chances of victims who live miles away from the hospital. The unique design of the facility has been noted around the country with a national award from Long Term Care Magazine. Features such as an outdoor courtyard, skylights, and a helipad give it a distinctive, beautiful look.
