Welcome to Family Care Clinics, rural health clinics of Bates County Memorial Hospital, meeting your family’s primary health care needs where you need it most – close to home. Our team of trusted family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are here for you and your family, treating patients of all ages from newborn to senior years.

We want to make seeking primary health care accessible and convenient for our patients, so we offer extended hours for some weekdays and Saturday morning appointments with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant at our clinics in Adrian and Butler. We make every effort to offer same-day appointments for our established patients so you and your loved ones can get to feeling better.

During peak illness seasons or when needed, we offer appointments for patients with respiratory illnesses in isolated areas to keep our patients comfortable while preventing illness from spreading. Our Drive-Thru clinic at High Street Family Care Clinic and the separate respiratory clinic space at Rich Hill Family Care Clinic are convenient and comfortable for our patients.

Whether you have new symptoms or just want to talk to a doctor about your health and wellness, our physicians and providers are here for you. You’ll have an entire team dedicated to your care. Tell us how you’re feeling.

Have a conversation with a doctor or advanced practitioner for:
  • Annual wellness visits and physicals
  • Questions and concerns
  • Care for minor illness and injury
  • Routine screenings
  • Care for chronic conditions
  • Medication management
  • Mental and emotional health care
  • Preventive care
  • Senior care
  • Sports physicals
  • Therapy options
  • Vaccinations
  • Well-woman exams
