Care we provide
A full range of services without the drive
Most of what you need is available right here in Ruraltown. When something falls outside what we do, we coordinate the referral and stay involved.
Acute Care

Diagnostic Imaging
X-ray at any hour, plus CT, ultrasound, heart imaging, mammography, and bone density. MRI visits on Tuesdays.
Surgical Services
Scheduled general surgery and scopes in one operating room. Nearly everyone goes home the same afternoon.
