[edit] History

Interstate Medical Center was a professional corporation and its predecessor was the Interstate Clinic. It was founded in a partnership between Edward H. Juers, M.D., and Raymond F. Hedin, M.D., in 1932. In 1940, having additional physicians join the medical staff, their group, now the Interstate Clinic, moved to a new building at Third and Dakota streets. The group incorporated as the Interstate Medical Center, Professional Associates in 1969, and moved to US Highway 61 in 1970. A major expansion of the building occurred in 1980. In 1986, a second building was added at this site.

In 1981, George M.B. Hawley, M.D., became associated with the Interstate Medical Center and the first branch office began operation at 303 West Fifth Street. In 1987, that office expanded and moved to Fourth Street in the Seminary Plaza. The branch office in Ellsworth, Wisconsin was constructed in 1984. In 1986, Robert Thompson, M.D., in Zumbrota, joined Interstate Medical Center. That office expanded in 1987 and moved to 525 Mill Street.

In 1997, Fairview Red Wing Health Services brought together River Region Health Services and Interstate Medical Center as one coordinated system of care. As the needs of the community grew and changed, Fairview Red Wing Health Services responded to those changes. Today, the new Fairview Red Wing Medical Center serves the clinic and hospital needs of Red Wing and the surrounding area.
