A tribute to a life dedicated to others: Dr. Leland Lamberty
February 2021 commemorated the grand opening of the new Great Plains Health Lamberty Education Center in recognition of Dr. Leland Lamberty, a man who tirelessly dedicated his time and talents to the professional development of healthcare professionals. Located on the second floor of Centennial Plaza, the Lamberty Education Center serves as the education hub for Great Plains Health employees, regional first responders and area hospitals.
Nearly 50 years ago, Dr. Leland Lamberty moved to North Platte, Neb. “He initially started in Holdrege, Neb., for nine months, but it wasn’t a good fit,” said Becky Kempke, Dr. Lamberty’s daughter and Great Plains Health Family Medicine clinic manager. “He had two classmates from medical school who had started practicing in North Platte, and they encouraged him to move here. The area was underserved and needed more physicians. He practiced here for the rest of his life.”
