History
After treating a large number of Amish and Conservative Mennonites in his practice, Dr. Edwin L. Nirdlinger, PhD, MD, became aware of the difficulty these patients had obtaining quality care at a reasonable cost. In 2002, with the idea of helping Anabaptist communities, Dr. Nirdlinger along with Wolfgang Dresher, JD, LLM, formed the non-profit organization Immergrün, Inc.
