Early in 1944, a few brave individuals dared to dream about the future of health care in Daniels County. In April of '44, that dream became a reality and a fund drive initiated by the Scobey Lions Club put in motion a chain of events that would truly be a legacy for generations. Six years later, $100,000 in funds raised exclusively from local contributions was in the bank.
In 1952, the Daniels Memorial Hospital Board finalized an agreement with Lutheran Hospitals and Homes Society of Fargo, ND to provide centralized management services coordinated by a team of administrative consultants in hospital operation. Some benefits of the arrangement included wholesale purchasing of medical supplies, financial accounting services, access to consultants in nursing management, plant engineering and long-range planning.

Services
Daniels Memorial Healthcare Center is 501(c)(3) not-for-profit 25 Bed Critical Access Hospital with a Rural Health Care Clinic and 24 hour Emergency Room Care. Based in Scobey, Montana, with a total county population of 1,643 (2008 Census Bureau Estimate) DMHC is designated as a 'frontier' facility in a 'medically underserved area' because of its location in a remote, rural area.
The services provided at the Wyvil & Vera Bjerke Wellness Center & Rehabilitation Department rival those found anywhere in the MonDak region. Our facility boasts one of the few aquatic therapy pools in the region. Combined with a wide variety of complimentary therapy devices & practices, we can offer you the latest, most effective treatments available.
Patients can remain here in our local communities and see specialists from larger facilities in Montana and across the nation! Patients from Daniels County and the surrounding area face many challenges when accessing specialty medical services beyond the scope of our local DMHC Providers. Sheer distance, inclement weather, and transportation limitations make it difficult to reach specialists located at distant facilities.
At Daniels Memorial Healthcare Center, we recognize that medical expenses are often large, unplanned, and create further stress at a time when your primary concern is health, rather than financial issues. Please inquire at our Business Office for important information on payment options, discounts, insurance processing, refunds, and questions about your bill.
Health information management (HIM) is the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care. Health information management professionals bridge roles, connecting clinical, operational, and administrative functions. Our HIM professionals at DMHC affect the quality of patient information and patient care at every touchpoint in your health care delivery cycle.

I needed to be seen while here working for about 6 weeks. I was lucky enough to be treated by Gregory Crowder. He is hands down the most compassion provider i have ever seen. He took such good care of me and even followed up to see how i was doing. SCOBEY IS SO BLESSED to have him.... i owe him my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely Juanita
