Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the future of your healthcare in Kearney and in central Nebraska.
This page of our Web site is dedicated to keeping you up-to-date on one of the most important healthcare issues facing Kearney and the surrounding region: the potential of a second, investor-owned hospital in our community.
The addition of this hospital threatens the Level II trauma and regional referral services of the more than 350,000 people that come to Kearney in critical times of need.
Such an important healthcare issue demands access to accurate and timely information for those that it impacts - the thousands of patients, caregivers and community members throughout the region.
This page of our Web site will be updated frequently to keep you abreast of the facts during this important debate.
Start today by learning more about the impact this hospital will have on our community's healthcare.
In the meantime, we ask that you CARE FOR YOUR FUTURE by voicing your support to maintain Kearney as a regional referral center.
