Reedsburg Area Medical Center, Inc.

Reedsburg Area Medical Center has a long tradition of service to the community. The first hospital in Reedsburg was founded in 1902 by Dr. Adelbert Edwards. This hospital was housed in a former residence. Once remodeled, the two story building provided 11 rooms, serving both medical and surgical patients.
