Fallon Medical Complex (FMC)


Here is some information about Stephan's new employer:

Fallon Medical Complex (FMC) is the sole community health care provider for a rural population in excess of 7,200 people spread over seven counties in eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Considered "frontier" by the Montana Department of Health and Human Services, this region has less than two residents per square mile. FMC is a nonprofit corporation providing primary care, emergent care, and long-term care to its service area.

It is comprised of a Rural Health Clinic (RHCC) staffed by two physicians and one physician's assistant, a 25-bed critical access hospital offering outpatient surgery on a monthly basis, a 27-bed skilled nursing home and rehabilitation center, and a home care department offering personal care services under a Medicaid waiver program as well as skilled care services under the Visiting Nurse Services program through the RHC. FMC's diagnostic services include a CLIA-certified lab, an ACR-certified mammography unit, CT, x-ray, ultrasound, teleradiology and mobile MRI.

Patient care services include cardiac rehabilitation, chemotherapy, physical and occupational therapy, nutritional therapy, dental services, and an outreach clinic offered once a week in neighboring Wibaux, Montana. FMC's in-house services are augmented by routine visits from traveling physicians specializing in general surgery, ophthalmology, pathology, podiatry radiology, and urology.
