Stillwater healthcare
Nearby Lakeview Hospital, five pharmacies, and 55 selected specialists give the city a strong local care starting point
The prepared catalog counts Lakeview Memorial Hospital about one mile away as a 97-bed general acute-care hospital with Level III trauma designation. HealthPartners' current listing identifies Lakeview Hospital as a 90-bed acute-care hospital with medical and surgical services, broad specialties, seven operating rooms, and a hospital pharmacy. Its emergency center provides 24-hour care, Level III trauma services, and stroke-ready care. Confirm the current name, campus, bed count, service locations, and transfer arrangements directly because the catalog and current listing differ.
The catalog counts five nearby pharmacies and 55 selected Medicare specialists. These values create a useful call list, not a promise of access. Ask about primary care, prescriptions, specialist appointments, rehabilitation, behavioral health, home support, insurance, delivery, transportation, and a larger regional referral. Practice the route from the possible home during snow, after dark, and during downtown traffic.

Stillwater in everyday life
Could Stillwater work for you?
What may work well
- Lakeview Hospital is a named nearby acute-care and Level III trauma destination with 24-hour emergency care and stroke-ready services.
- HealthPartners lists surgery, imaging, laboratory, specialties, rehabilitation, hospital pharmacy, and clinic connections, while the catalog counts five nearby pharmacies.
What to think about
- The catalog's Lakeview Memorial name and 97-bed value differ from the current HealthPartners 90-bed Lakeview Hospital listing, so campus details need direct confirmation.
- One nearby hospital does not replace a large metropolitan center for every complex procedure, specialty, or transfer.
- The 55 selected specialist count needs direct checking for new patients, insurance, wait times, parking, and winter travel.
