Medcenter One, located in Bismarck, N.D., is a not-for-profit, multi-specialty medical center. Medcenter One Q&R Clinic was founded in 1902 by two physicians, Dr. Eric P. Quain and Dr. Niles O. Ramstad, with a vision of providing outstanding patient care. This clinic was the second multi-specialty clinic in the nation, second only to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Medcenter One has clinics in Bismarck, Dickinson, Jamestown, Mandan and Minot. And, it has a 228-bed hospital, four multi-specialty clinics, a college of nursing, seven primary care clinics, four walk-in clinics, three kidney dialysis centers, three occupational health clinics, four long-term care facilities and a comprehensive group of health services in western and central North Dakota. Key accreditations and awards include: Joint Commission, American College of Surgeons Level II Emergency and Trauma Center, and Magnet Recognition Program®. Medcenter One's group practice model means physicians are associates of Medcenter One and not in private practice. Culture, values, governance, expectations, efficiency, teamwork and continuity of care are maximized as a result. Medcenter One associates practice evidence-based medicine integrating clinical expertise, application of predictable outcomes and patient communication. The organization focuses on the relationship between the physician and the patient—a relationship that is central to our mission of healthcare delivery: Committed to caring—one life at a time.
