The original hospital was opened in 1961. The 14 bed facility was built with Hill-Burton funds, a county bond issue and private donations. In 1965, another patient wing added an additional 18 beds. In 1970, a 20 bed long term care unit was added. In 1980, an outpatient area was added to accommodate specialists coming from Lincoln. In 1991, a new nurse's station, medication prep and storage room, ICU, administrative offices and a radiology reading room were added. In 1997, the hospital purchased a physician clinic and in 1999, a new building and Wellness Center were added. The clinic, Wellness Center and hospital are all connected for easy patient access. In 1999, an in-house CT scanner was also added. In October of 1999, the hospital became one of the first Critical Access Hospitals in the state of Nebraska. This cost based reimbursement system has allowed the hospital to continue to offer state of the art medicine to our rural community.
