STAT+: How a small hospital in Nebraska has thrived through the pandemic
Great Plains Health CEO Ivan Mitchell spoke with STAT about how his Nebraska hospital is thriving even after the pandemic.
Great Plains Health is a small hospital system in a part of Nebraska surrounded by agriculture, railroads, and retail distribution. But that doesn’t mean it’s powerless — in fact, the system is a highly profitable, influential mainstay in the area.
At the center of Great Plains Health is a 116-bed hospital that offers services like neurosurgery, cancer care, and interventional cardiology. But it can’t do open-heart procedures. Those are reserved for hospitals in Omaha or Denver.
