Hard to believe it’s already been one year since we officially launched Hanson Medical Services! 🎉
We started this journey because we believe folks in Southern Illinois shouldn't have to settle for less just because of where we live. We wanted to build something permanent for our neighbors, and thanks to you, we’re just getting started.
Here’s what our first year of 'Independence' looked like:
🏠Rooted in the Community: After serving you from the top floor for the past two years, our founder, Dr. Hanson, reached a massive milestone this December by officially acquiring the entire $6M facility. Transitioning from tenants to local owners of this building is his promise to our region: we aren't just here for a season; we have put down deep roots for the long haul.
💼 Taking Care of Our Own: We believe in keeping Southern Illinois strong. For every 1 physician, about 17 local jobs are created—and we are proud to be a homegrown employer. We want to see our local economy thrive, not just see our neighbors' money go to a large hospital board room across state lines.
🤝 Serving the Region: Our team is honored to oversee the care for 5 area nursing homes, 2 assisted living centers, and the specialized team at NeuroRestorative for those recovering from traumatic injury.
🚗 House Calls are Back: For our neighbors who can’t get out easily, our Home Visit program brings our doctor to your door. We believe in neighbor-to-neighbor care, the old-fashioned way.
🙏 A Mission to Serve: We believe everyone deserves a helping hand, a chance at recovery, and a better life. From our Suboxone services for those fighting for their future to our 'never turn a neighbor away' policy—our doors are open to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.
What’s Next? Construction is moving fast on our new on-site Pharmacy to save you a trip, and we’re building a new Behavioral Health & Counseling area to support our community’s mental health.
Thank you for standing with us during this transition. It’s an honor for Dr. Hanson and our entire team to serve the region we all call home.
