North Platte, Neb., September 22, 2023 – Great Plains Health is pleased to begin welcoming patients to the Great Plains Health Oak Street Medical Building (OSMB) on September 25.
The OSMB, located at the corner of William Avenue and Oak Street, is the new home to:
∙ Great Plains Family Medicine
∙ Great Plains Health Internal Medicine
∙ Great Plains Pediatrics
∙ Great Plains Health Palliative Care
∙ On-site lab
∙ On-site X-ray services
“I am excited that we are going to have lab and X-ray services in our building,” said Dr. Kathy Lopez, Great Plains Pediatrics physician. “For our patients, that means a parent has to take their child out of a car seat two less times.”
The building holds 53 exam rooms and shell space to accommodate future growth.
“As our community grows, so does our vision for serving our patients,” said Ivan Mitchell, Great Plains Health chief executive officer. “One of our strategic objectives is to ensure access to quality care, which begins with a primary care provider. These providers ensure you live a high quality of life by providing screenings, day-to-day care and disease prevention, and, when further expertise is necessary, they are able to refer you to specialists.”
Maintaining exceptional access to primary care providers is key for a healthy community.
“Constructing a new building like this gives a chance to reset things that were not a priority when our current location was built 20 years ago,” said Dr. Emily Jones, Great
Plains Family Medicine physician. “We have family-sized rooms, exam tables that go up and down and wheelchair scales that we can use for patients.”
“This new building has excellent flow and will enhance provider to provider communication as we collaborate to best treat patients’ needs,” added Dr. Raymond Carlson, Great Plains Health Internal Medicine physician.
Great Plains Health’s experienced primary care physicians and staff are committed to providing care to patients of all ages — babies to seniors.
“In this state-of-the art facility, our team will continue to provide you with excellent care,” said Danelle Franzen, Great Plains Health chief operating officer. “We are proud to do our best for our patients, each and every day.”
