The NRMC OB department and physicians have been a part of the Freeman Family Medicine residency since its inception. We host each resident one month in the second year of their three year training program. Resident physicians have already completed a four year Bachelor’s degree and four year medical school program prior to their residency. They are physicians with either an MD or DO degree and are in the process of required clinical training before practicing medicine. Our relationship with this program allows us to help build the house of medicine by sharing clinical experiences and also offers the opportunity to recruit new physicians to our community. Please join me in welcoming these physicians if you encounter them during a visit at Nevada Medical Clinic or the OB department.

When you give to support our funds, our services and our programs, it all stays local to benefit you and the people you care about most!

Wow, what lovely sentiments. As always, thank you for giving us the privilege of caring for you.

We are starting off the New Year with positive comments for our inpatient areas:
"Dr. Conley is a fantastic doctor! She's been wonderful through all my pregnancy care & delivery. Nurse Ruth was also amazing! Very on top of my health & comfort."
"Excellent experience - everyone at NRMC treated us very professional & caring."
"Was a good stay - grateful for the care & care team."
"So very helpful to get excellent care in our local hospital rather than having to make a long drive away from home. Thank you!!"
"I received excellent care by registered nurse, Sharon, Donna & Kendall. They were very attentive with great bedside manner & care."
"Very pleased."
"D. Sparks & Dr. Hall as well as the surgical nurses were very empathetic & comforting."
"Every nurse on each shift assigned to my room was incredibly helpful no matter how tedious. I felt respected & important. Everyone was the most helpful, kind, understanding & motivational during every step of the process. I was never made to feel like a burden or get the sense I was annoying anyone when asking for help or simply questions I didn't know the answers to. I couldn't have asked for better nursing and/or doctor support before, during or after labor & delivery. These ladies made this hospital stay the best I've had in all my history. I'm so grateful for each of them - every one of them deserves praise for their incredible patient care, helpfulness & compassion. I am personally impressed with each & every one of them. I don't think I could ever thank or give these ladies the amount of credit they deserve."

Wonderful comments for our Emergency Department team members:
"Everyone from check in, nurse, x-ray and Dr. were very nice & efficient."
"Absolutely KIND."
"Did everything they could do - very concerned."
"The entire ED was great - you run a great ER!"
"We were very thankful to have Dr. Barnes that night!"
"Nicole was excellent! Megan was also very attentive & helpful. There was another nurse that helped too & put us at ease & take care of our daughter. We can't praise Nicole enough for her kindness & attention to detail. Truly a God send in our worst time."
"I also had a 'nurse in training' & I actually learned some things too. I felt very taken care of."
"The doctor took his time to explain things to me."
"Everyone I encountered was very nice & professional."
"Nurses were all very nice."
"A great ED experience if I had to go to the ED I would prefer to go to Nevada than any other nearby facilities."
"They were all so caring. NRMC does not get the credit they deserve."
"The doctor talked to me like I was a person & not just a number or patient. He talked to me like I was a friend & explained things so I could understand."
"I was confused when I arrived due to my injury & staff were great to comfort me."

Unfortunately rural hospitals are at risk all over and that effects local economies in ways that are hard to predict.

A Missouri hospital has alerted the state of a potential mass layoff of 213 employees as the facilities are being sold to a new group.

This has been an eventful year for so many people and we at NRMC are grateful for the opportunity to care for our community in so many ways.

We love our little gifts all year long but don’t believe for a minute that Santa brings them!!

There are similar struggles in rural hospitals all over the nation. This hospital in Marshall, MO is cutting services to cut costs. NRMC has done some of that in the past but each department is crucial to our survival and we can’t afford to lose any.

At a time when rural hospitals in Missouri are facing unprecedented economic headwinds, the Fitzgibbon Hospital Board of Trustees, in collaboration with management, has approved cost-cutting measures expected to save more than $2 million dollars annually. The measures include the closure of two outlying primary care clinics, closure of the inpatient behavioral health unit and ceasing operations of Fitzgibbon Home Health and Hospice services. All closures for services operated by the not-for-profit hospital will be effective Dec. 31, 2025.

Those long waits to get appointments are actually better in Nevada,MO than most places. This article discusses the reasons and projections for shortages in the healthcare workforce nationwide.

There is difficulty finding a physician who accepts new patients and the time to get an appointment. And if you’re in need of a specialist, measure that time in weeks
