Lakewood Health System

Lakewood Health System is an independent, nonprofit rural healthcare system based in Staples, Minnesota. It operates a 25-bed critical access hospital together with primary care clinics, oncology services, behavioral health, women's health, senior living and care services, pharmacy operations, home medical equipment, and other outpatient offerings. The organization serves communities in central Minnesota through an integrated delivery model that combines hospital, clinic, pharmacy, and senior services under one system. Lakewood is not a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company; it is a commercial healthcare delivery organization focused on patient care and regional access to medical services. Recent expansion has included a new cancer center in Staples, reflecting continued investment in local specialty care capacity.
