The Lake Region is more than part of our name. It's who we are. And it's why we work around the clock to serve more than 40 surrounding ZIP codes with care designed to meet the specific needs of our community.
As the only hospital between Columbia and Springfield designated for stroke, trauma and heart attack care, we are equipped and ready to treat time-sensitive diagnoses.
The Road to Recovery Shouldn't Start with a Long Drive
Investing in our community means bringing leading care to their doorstep. Lake Regional’s nationally accredited Cancer Center leverages state-of-the-art therapies to detect and treat various forms of cancer.
We're committed to our community
A traumatic injury can happen anywhere at any time. Lake Regional is proud to offer free, life-saving training courses to our community to empower individuals to help in an emergency. Watch the incredible story of one class participant's experience.
We also extend our care deep into the surrounding community with 22 specialty clinics throughout the region, a medical helicopter ready to reach remote areas and programs like our high school athletic trainers, offered to schools at no cost.
Commitment runs deep through our organization
We pride ourselves on response, compassion and expertise, and none of those would be possible without our entire team working toward the same goal. Everyone impacts patient outcomes.

This is why we are here
