Cherry County Hospital

What Cherry County Hospital does

Cherry County Hospital is a non-profit, county-owned Critical Access Hospital located in Valentine, Nebraska, providing general medical and surgical care across inpatient, outpatient, and 24/7 emergency room settings. Founded in 1975 (with its supporting Foundation established in 1978), the facility serves as the principal acute-care provider for Cherry County and surrounding rural north-central Nebraska, including Home Health coverage across five counties and limited service in Todd County, South Dakota. The hospital holds Basic Level IV Trauma Center designation from the Nebraska Statewide Trauma System and earned 2024 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital recognition from The Chartis Center for Rural Health, alongside DAISY Award Hospital Partner status, CLIA-certified laboratory, FDA mammography certification, and ARRT-certified radiology technologists.

The hospital operates a broad service portfolio for its size, including emergency medicine, surgery (endoscopy, colonoscopy, gallbladder, hernia repairs, biopsies, and specialty procedures), diagnostic imaging (bone densitometry, CT, digital mammography, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray/fluoroscopy, EKG), laboratory, respiratory therapy, prenatal care and labor/delivery with 24/7 cesarean-section anesthesia availability, dialysis, swing-bed skilled care, ambulance service, and home health. Visiting specialists from regional partners including Bryan Health, Great Plains Health, and Bryan Medical Center deliver periodic on-site clinics across 15+ specialties. The technology stack centers on a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that transmits images to Radiology Services in North Platte for interpretation, supplemented by an MHealth-powered patient portal and Optum-based online bill pay.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service billing across hospital services, clinic services, specialty clinics, and outpatient diagnostics, with insurance precertification required for many procedures. Pricing transparency is supported via a public price estimator and charge master, and financial assistance plus a sliding-fee scale are available for qualifying patients. The hospital employs 51-100 staff, is governed by a Board of Trustees, and receives community financial support through the Cherry County Hospital Foundation, which directs 100% of donations to hospital operations without administrative overhead.
