MRI services

Advanced Imaging Without the Long Drive

Freeman’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) coach service at 100 N. Pine St. in Pittsburg provides convenient on-site access for patients needing an MRI for orthopaedic, neurological injuries to the spine and head, workman’s compensation, abdominal issues and liver and pancreas exams. After the closure of many rural hospitals and clinics in Southeast Kansas, Freeman opened the Teslas (a 1.5T) MRI scanner from GE Healthcare in January 2021 to meet the needs of area patients in their own backyard. This service enables patients to receive care locally and decreases their travel time to and from appointments. To make an appointment, call 417.347.6868.

Working Together

Stronger Partnerships for Healthier Communities

Freeman Health System is fully committed to helping support fast growing healthcare needs in Southeast Kansas.

Freeman’s collaborative partnership with Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas offers more opportunities and access to care for Southeast Kansas residents to receive the best possible care without leaving their own backyard. Through this partnership Freeman specialists provide obstetrics, orthopedics and general surgery for referred patients.

Freeman also has collaborative alliance with area healthcare providers Labette Health and Girard Medical Center. Specialists in cardiology and ear, nose and throat see patients regularly through the month at Labette Health and Girard Medical Center.
