Dundy County Hospital was built in 1968 and serves the southwestern corner of Nebraska, northeastern Colorado, and portions of Kansas. Initially constructed to accommodate 30 acute and swing beds, this Medicare-certified facility located in Benkelman has lowered its bed size to meet the conversion requirements of "Critical Access Hospital" designation in December, 2000, and serves an underserved and rural Nebraska population.
The hospital includes a full array of ancillary services: radiology services to include mammography, Computerized Tomography (CT), portable ultrasound and MRI imaging services, full service laboratory department, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, and surgery, obstetrical, and emergency services. The hospital has a comprehensive outreach specialty clinic program that includes hospice, oncology, internal medicine, pulmonology, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, and cardiology (over 20 consulting physicians and a dentist).
