Immergrün,
Inc. was formed in 2003 by Dr. Nirdlinger and Mr. Drescher. The
objectives of Immergrün are to provide medical care to Amish
and Old Order Mennonites at rates that are affordable to them and
to promote their health through education and other preventive measures.
The organization will endeavor to build enough financial reserves
to enable it to defray the costs of those without the means of paying
their own bills. While patients have to be in the area, Immergrün
will also provide, at reasonable cost, local housing for patients,
family and their drivers.
Our
patients currently stay at the Red
Roof Inn or Comfort
Inn near the surgery center. We are able to negatiate discounted
rates ranging from $40/night to $55/night, including continential
breakfast (rates subject to change, call or contact the hotels directly
for more details). The ultimate goal is to acquire a property owned
by Immergrün where patients can stay for only a few dollars
a night. As of now, however, we are unable to keep a facility like
this staffed or funded.
For
further information about the organization and how it works, read
our by-laws.
