Today, Medcenter One is an integrated healthcare system that consists of six primary care clinics covering western and central North Dakota, a 210-bed hospital, a home health agency, three kidney dialysis centers, four long-term care facilities, one independent living center and a college of nursing. In addition, Medcenter One has been designated as a Level II trauma center.[1]
Medcenter One is committed to providing professional and personal healthcare. The organization focuses on the relationship between the physician and the patient—the one-to-one relationship that is central to our philosophy of healthcare delivery and mission Committed to caring—one life at a time.

Medcenter One uses a group practice model, where physicians are associates of Medcenter One and are not in private practice. Culture, values, governance, expectations, efficiency, teamwork and continuity of care are maximized through this model. Medcenter One associates practice evidence-based medicine integrating clinical expertise, application of predictable outcomes and patient communication. At Medcenter One, the patient and doctor make decisions about medical care together by weighing the risks and benefits of different courses of action along with patients’ rights and privileges. [3]
