Located at 2500 Niles Road, Suite 9, in St. Joseph, Mary Free Bed certified orthotists and prosthetists help fit patients with adaptive equipment, such as cranial reshaping helmets, artificial limbs and external braces designed to enhance and improve their functional ability after a serious injury, illness or other debilitating condition.
“Lakeland and Mary Free Bed have worked together for years to meet the needs of our rehabilitation patients, and we are pleased to formalize this new relationship,” said Scott Nolte, director of Lakeland Rehabilitation. “This partnership means patients can find the same high-quality, compassionate rehabilitation care they have come to expect from Lakeland, with the addition of specialized orthotics and prosthetics care available close to home.”
“From the time work began on this joint venture, we recognized Lakeland employees share our passion for serving patients,” said Ron Mishler, vice president of Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics. “We’re excited to grow our relationship and provide outstanding orthotic and prosthetic services to southwest Michigan.”
In 2015, Lakeland joined the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Network, an innovative alliance of hospitals and providers throughout Michigan. The network was established in 2011 to extend Mary Free Bed’s expertise as one of the leading rehabilitation hospitals in the Midwest, creating a seamlessly integrated system of rehabilitative care for patients.
