About Us

The entities that comprise Fairview's Range Partners continually prepare for advances in technology and challenges in health care delivery. Our long-standing tradition of providing high quality health care and our commitment to the pursuit of continuous quality improvement continues.

Organizational Structure

We combine the area's finest medical services to provide the most comprehensive health care system on the Iron Range and northeast Minnesota. This locally integrated health care system is comprised of three entities:
  • Fairview University Medical Center-Mesabi - main facility, located in Hibbing, providing advanced, high technology, inpatient and outpatient care
  • Fairview Mesaba Clinics - community-based clinics throughout the region, with sites in Hibbing, Chisholm, Mountain Iron and Nashwauk, provide the physician partnership component and community/regional access to primary and specialty care
  • Fairview HealthLine - which provides the community-based home health care and hospice services that support and complement both UMCM & Mesaba Clinics in the overall continuum of patient care. Medical Supply stores in Hibbing, Virginia and Int'l Falls provide delivery throughout all of Northeast Minnesota; and HomeCare services offered across the entire Range Region with main office located in Hibbing and also serving the Vermillion area.
Quality Leadership - Board Structure

Each entity has its own Board of Directors made up of community people along with various representatives from our local medical staff. The Boards then guide the necessary planning and policy stages that need to occur as the entities serve the patients and customers of our region with advanced quality health care.

The umbrella organization, Range Regional Health Services, also has a Board of Directors, and as the others includes people from local communities, representatives from our local medical staff and representatives from Fairview Health Services, the parent organization.

All three boards meet on a regular basis and provide critical leadership and guidance as we continue to meet the health care needs of our Region.

We greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of all our volunteer boards of directors for the many hours of service they contribute to our local health care community.
