Company Profile
Freeman Health System
Company Overview
Work with the best
Freeman offers a wide variety of career opportunities, a great work culture and generous benefits. We like to think of our health system as a small city – in addition to clinical staff such as nurses and doctors, we also have accountants, groundskeepers, chefs, baristas, receptionists, security guards, shuttle bus drivers and more! We consider all our employees to be caregivers, no matter their position, because they all make a difference in our patients’ lives in one way or another.

Throughout the health system, we have added beds, expanded our services, added new technology, established programs and provided community outreach to better serve our community and meet the increasing demand for excellence in healthcare.
Company History
John W. Freeman performed a great community service when he donated his family home as the site for a new hospital in honor of his late son Orley in 1922. Three years later, after the addition of a 75-bed annex, Freeman Hospital opened its doors with a staff of 19 nurses and five doctors. Since then, Freeman has grown to become the area’s largest employer and one of the community’s best corporate partners. The health system now includes a staff of more than 300 doctors, three hospitals, specialty clinics, a heart and vascular institute, a cancer institute, a neurospine center, a comprehensive behavioral health center, a thriving auxiliary and more. John W. Freeman committed a generous act – an act that has allowed Freeman to continue that tradition of generosity by bringing life-saving and life-changing healthcare to the four-state area.
