Gothenburg, Neb. - Gothenburg Health, a rural critical access hospital known for its dedication to quality healthcare and innovation, has been awarded the 2024 Quest for Excellence Award by the Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA). This honor recognizes Gothenburg Health’s commitment to healthcare quality, performance, and patient safety, with a strong focus on population health and diabetic care.

The hospital’s mission— “We exist to be healthcare leaders with unparalleled passion, helping people to live their best lives because we care, and we can”—underscores its dedication to patient-centered care. Gothenburg Health’s diabetes initiatives address the high rates of obesity and inactivity in Dawson County, where 43% of residents were obese, 30% were inactive, and 10% were living with diabetes, according to Dawson County data from 2022.

Gothenburg Health launched a chronic care management program to address diabetes education and improve resource access, identifying these as top needs in the community. Key metrics tracked in the program include patients’ weight, blood sugar levels, A1C, medication adherence, and the completion of annual foot and eye exams. The hospital also monitors emergency room visits, clinic visits, and admissions to gauge impact.

Alisa Crown, Director of Population Health, said the program’s success is rooted in team collaboration and targeted efforts. “Partnering with NHA and being recognized shows that we’re truly improving care,” Crown said. “It’s exciting to see the improvements. We focused on chronic care and diabetes since 2022, from raising awareness to lowering A1C levels and reducing ER visits.” She emphasized the value of a team-based approach: “A team effort truly makes a difference. Doctors alone can’t do it all—having specialists and a supportive team is a win for patients.”

Patient engagement is central to Gothenburg Health’s approach, with monthly check-ins and educational support to help patients manage diabetes effectively. Financial assistance and a YMCA six-month membership is available to program participants. “One of the biggest rewards has been medication adherence,” Shay Holbrook, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, said. Currently, 50 prescriptions are free or reduced for 27 patients, and A1C levels among those receiving assistance dropped by 11% from 2022 to 2023.

Holbrook highlighted the personalized care available to patients. “We meet with patients in person initially, then provide monthly check-ins, especially if there are medication changes,” she said. “The smallest support can make a difference.” Holbrook also assists with diabetes education and financial aid applications to secure necessary medications. “Seeing patients receive the medications they need and knowing the support is appreciated makes the work rewarding,” she added.

The program has led to a 7.6% reduction in acute admissions and emergency visits among diabetic patients and a 3% increase in clinic visits from 2022 to 2023. What started as a pilot program for 12 patients expanded to 73 participants by the end of 2023 and now serves 106 patients in 2024.

In its award application, Gothenburg Health emphasized the value of data-driven targeting and collaborative efforts with healthcare providers to address patient needs effectively. “Our experience shows the importance of combining technical knowledge with compassionate care. By prioritizing both emotional and educational needs, we’ve laid a foundation for sustainable, replicable initiatives,” the hospital stated.

The Quest for Excellence Award, established in 2004 by the NHA and other partners, annually honors two hospitals and one rural health clinic in Nebraska for advancing healthcare quality and patient safety. Gothenburg Health’s achievement underscores its role in promoting healthier communities across Nebraska.

Gothenburg Health is a premier critical access hospital, and rural health clinic focused on serving the community of Gothenburg and surrounding areas with modern facilities and highly skilled employees. Gothenburg Health completed a 31 million-dollar renovation and expansion in 2018, which includes a state-of-the-art surgical suite, brand-new patient wing, prominent main entry, clinical expansion, advanced imaging suite with in-house MRI, and finally, a medically integrated YMCA. We are proud to not only offer the basics but to provide a wide variety of progressive services that have grown with the needs of our community. Gothenburg Health is dedicated to its mission of being healthcare leaders with unparalleled passion, helping people to live their best lives because we care and we can.

$8.3M in federal community development block grants awarded to 18 NE communities

NORTH PLATTE, NE – The Alzheimer’s Association honored Tommy Camargo, a past Worthy President of Aerie 2839, for his dedication and contributions to the fight against Alzheimer’s disease last&nbsp;week.

Since joining the Eagles Club in February of 1999, Tommy has devoted himself to service, rising through the ranks to become a three-time Aerie President. For over 17 years, he has participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – North Platte. He rallied his community to raise over $100,000 to support the Alzheimer’s Association’s mission to care, research, and raise awareness of the disease. Tommy’s mother faced early-onset Alzheimer’s, and his uncle later passed away from the disease.

“The day my uncle didn’t recognize me anymore was a sad, sad day,” Tommy said.

Tommy got involved with the Alzheimer’s Association nearly 18 years ago because of a challenge that was created by his friend and community member, Bruce Richmond. Bruce, a devoted supporter of the cause, pledged to match any donations that exceeded his own contributions to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – North Platte. Tommy took him up on that challenge – raising $750 – which Bruce graciously matched. Throughout his nearly two-decade commitment to the Alzheimer’s Association, Tommy says his dedication has been uplifted by the generosity of the North Platte Community.

“Without the people in our community, we wouldn’t be able to raise money for the Walk. The people are the ones who make a difference,” Tommy said.

For Tommy, supporting the Alzheimer’s Association is about more than just fundraising.

“North Platte people take pride in the things we do in the community,” Tommy said. “They have made great strides in the healing process and making a difference in the Walk over the years.”

As he looks to the future, Tommy expresses a desire to revive the same drive and determination in the community that fueled his own efforts. He has a message to those who want to get involved: education and awareness are crucial. He believes in honest conversations about the realities of Alzheimer’s disease – not just with those diagnosed – but with the caregivers who support them, too.

“The people living with the disease are often happy themselves, but the family and friends who take care of them live with the pain and sadness of it all,” Tommy said.

The Alzheimer’s Association – Nebraska Chapter would like to thank Tommy for his unwavering support over the years and for inspiring others to join the fight against Alzheimer’s and other dementia. If you are interested in getting involved or donating, please visit&nbsp;<a href="http://alz.org/Nebraska" target="_blank">alz.org/Nebraska</a>. If you or a loved one needs support, please contact our 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.

The Hot Sheets: November 12th, 2024

Clay Jordan, of McCook, has been selected to receive the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Award from Mid-Plains Community College.

Jordan was nominated by MPCC cabinet members based on his ongoing support to the institution. He was recently recognized during the Nebraska Community College Association’s annual meeting in Norfolk.&nbsp;&nbsp;

When Clay Jordan signed up for an EMT class his senior year of high school, he had no idea it would change his life.

At 12 years-old he attended an auction class and was hooked. “I was just a country bumpkin kid that thought I was going to be an auctioneer the rest of my life,” Jordan said.

However, his experience with McCook Community College, a division of Mid-Plains Community College, took him on a journey he never imagined.

Jordan took advantage of the opportunity to take some agriculture classes in high school through MCC.

“The idea of going to a four-year school was never even a consideration,” Jordan said. “Mid-Plains was easy, approachable and not intimidating.”

On a whim he signed up for an EMT class his senior year.

“You only had to go to class a couple times a week in the afternoon and it looked like a lot of freedom to me,” said Jordan. “I had very little interest in being an EMT.”

That thought quickly changed, though, and one week after graduating from McCook High School, Jordan enrolled in the accelerated paramedic program.

“I fell in love with the career of EMS and what it was about. It was super interesting to me once I got into it, and the instructors were really inspiring to me.”

Instructors Bob Molcyk and Bob Allen were instrumental in Jordan’s decision to pursue a career in healthcare.

“They took me from never thinking I would ever do anything where I had to touch people, to completely changing my life choices in less than nine months.”

His first job as an EMT took him to Grand Island where he received his paramedic license and got married. He then moved to Holdrege for work before deciding to go back to nursing school which would afford him better hours and opportunities.&nbsp;

Jordan enrolled in a paramedic to RN program at Hutchinson Community College. He was able to do his clinical rotation while traveling the state as an educator for an air medical transport based out of McCook, which brought his family back home.

He went on to get his bachelor's degree from Purdue Global and is pursuing his master’s degree from Western Governors University.

“Because of my paramedic background I fell into some opportunities as a nurse to get into leadership very early in my nursing career,” Jordan said.

Jordan’s career includes time as a trauma nurse specialist for the State of Nebraska and ER Education Coordinator at Tri Valley Health Systems, working up to be the Chief Nursing Officer in 2019.

In March of 2024 Jordan was named the Chief Executive Officer of Tri Valley Health System.

In his current role, Jordan continues his relationship with MPCC.&nbsp; “It’s been very helpful to have staff trained through the nursing and nurse aide program in McCook,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to have the college available to those in our area.”

During his time at MCC Jordan said he learned good, relevant, appliable information. Today, he shares that information with other students as an MPCC adjunct EMS instructor.

“Mid-Plains is a very important part of why I am where I am at,” Jordan said. “I credit it all back to the first EMT class that I took.”

It was super interesting to me once I got into it, and the instructors were really inspiring to me.”Instructors Bob Molcyk and Bob Allen were instrumental in Jordan’s decision to pursue a career in healthcare.“They took me from never thinking I would ever do anything where I had to touch people, to completely changing my life choices in less than nine months.”His first job as an EMT took him to Grand Island where he received his paramedic license and got married. He then moved to Holdrege for work before deciding to go back to nursing school which would afford him better hours and opportunities.&nbsp;Jordan enrolled in a paramedic to RN program at Hutchinson Community College. He was able to do his clinical rotation while traveling the state as an educator for an air medical transport based out of McCook, which brought his family back home.He went on to get his bachelor's degree from Purdue Global and is pursuing his master’s degree from Western Governors University.“Because of my paramedic background I fell into some opportunities as a nurse to get into leadership very early in my nursing career,” Jordan said.Jordan’s career includes time as a trauma nurse specialist for the State of Nebraska and ER Education Coordinator at Tri Valley Health Systems, working up to be the Chief Nursing Officer in 2019.In March of 2024 Jordan was named the Chief Executive Officer of Tri Valley Health System.In his current role, Jordan continues his relationship with MPCC.&nbsp; “It’s been very helpful to have staff trained through the nursing and nurse aide program in McCook,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to have the college available to those in our area.”During his time at MCC Jordan said he learned good, relevant, appliable information. Today, he shares that information with other students as an MPCC adjunct EMS instructor.“Mid-Plains is a very important part of why I am where I am at,” Jordan said. “I credit it all back to the first EMT class that I took.”

Jordan named MPCC Distinguished Alum of the Year

&nbsp;(Broken Bow, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested an Ohio man and safely rescued an abducted child following a pursuit Saturday.

Saturday afternoon, NSP received information from the Columbus Police Department of Ohio that a suspect of a child abduction may be traveling westbound on I-80 in Nebraska. The child, a three-year-old, was believed to be in the vehicle, which was a GMC Sierra.

Troopers located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop near mile marker 245, near Overton. The suspect refused to yield and accelerated, passing vehicles on the shoulder. Troopers initiated a pursuit. The suspect reached speeds of approximately 100 MPH and continued passing vehicles on the shoulder. Out of concern for the child and other motorists on the road, troopers discontinued the pursuit and issues alerts to other law enforcement agencies about the situation.

A short time later, Dawson County 911 received a report of the suspect vehicle driving northbound on Cozad Road into Custer County. The vehicle then turned westbound onto Highway 40 near Callaway. Troopers were able to successfully deploy spot sticks, but the driver refused to stop. A trooper reengaged the pursuit.

Additional troopers were located at the intersection of Highway 40 and Highway 47 to attempt another deployment of stop sticks. As the driver reached that location, he drove off the road and at a trooper. The trooper was able to run out of the way to avoid getting struck.

The suspect continued fleeing northbound on Highway 47 and then westbound on Highway 92, where the driver drove off the road, through a fence, and into a field, where the pickup became disabled. Troopers were then able to take the driver into custody without further incident. The child was located safely in the rear seat of the pickup.

The driver, Diego Revilla Gonzalez, 27, was arrested for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, child abuse (no injury), attempted assault on an officer, and numerous traffic violations. He was lodged in Custer County Jail. The child was medically cleared and placed in protective care pending reunification with her mother.

The North Platte Community College Applied Technologies Division donated a piece of diagnostic equipment to enhance North Platte High School’s automotive program.

NPCC automotive instructors Bryan Herrick and Mike Janecek handed off the Snap-on VERUS® PRO Diagnostic and Information System to their former student and current NPHS teacher Johnny Zogg last week.

“He was one of my best students,” Janecek said of Zogg.

The MPCC alum invited his past instructors to the high school upon recent renewal of their program to assess the equipment after he took the job as NPHS automotive teacher.

“Last year was my first year,” Zogg said. “We had very little Snap-on when I started, which is industry standard and top of the line.”

NPCC keeps their equipment updated to above industry standards, so their students have an advantage when they enter the professional field. Having recently updated their supply they had an extra diagnostic tool on hand, which NPHS was lacking.

“We try to find where the need is,” Janecek said.&nbsp; “We thought we would pass it along to them,” Janecek said.

Zogg said his students at the high school will benefit greatly from the donation.

“Our current scan tool only goes up to 2010 and only likes to scan up to 2008 vehicles,” Zogg said. “We are expected to work on things well newer than that. Getting this allows the kids to learn future technology to get them prepared for the college world.”
