6. Hospitals Provide a Pulse in Struggling Rural Towns
Dionne Searcey – 4/29/15
“We tried to design the facility for where we thought the
future was going,” Mr. Sommers, the chief executive,
said. The hospital’s biggest challenge has been
improving its reputation; six years ago it came
in dead last in a ranking of patient satisfaction
at Nebraska hospitals. Residents bypassed it for
bigger hospitals in Lincoln, the state capital, which is 40
miles away and home to the University of Nebraska.”
“The Beatrice hospital now ranks above the
national average in every category on
Medicare’s website for comparing hospitals.”
