Thousands of rural Nebraskans are at a geographic disadvantage when it comes to accessing basic medical care.
West Holt Memorial Hospital in rural Atkinson established a mobile clinic to extend the reach of local providers and better serve rural Nebraskans. The mobile clinic serves patients who otherwise may have forgone routine check-ups, screenings and vaccinations.
This is the story of how the health care leaders of West Holt Memorial Hospital are improving patient outcomes by breaking down rural health disparities one barrier at a time — all while reducing the likelihood of costly emergency interventions and long-term hospitalizations.
