Care close to home As our community grows, so does our vision for serving you. One of our strategic objectives is to ensure access to quality care, which begins with a primary care provider. These providers ensure you live a high quality of life by providing screenings, day- to-day care and disease prevention, and, when further expertise is necessary, they are able to refer you to the specialty clinics for additional treatment, testing, imaging and expertise. We could not be more pleased to open the Great Plains Health Oak Street Medical Building on August 21. This building serves as our patients’ hub for primary care services, including Great Plains Family Medicine, Great Plains Health Internal Medicine and Great Plains Pediatrics. We aim to provide convenient, quality care for you and your family. This building is your centralized starting point, with our primary care clinics, on-site lab, on-site X-ray services, ample parking and more. Our team looks forward to continuing to serve our community.

Serving our community needs In collaboration with community health partners, Great Plains Health conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment every three years to pinpoint the areas where we can most support our community. We use local, state and national data alongside evidence-based and transparent practices to compile this report. Simply, we aim to identify community health challenges and outline a solution that we can help work toward. Great Plains Health is focusing on the following areas:
2019
2020
2021
2022
Total free care: $40,896,109
$31,918,451 $22,162,699 $18,077,230
Uncompensated care is the amount a hospital doesn’t get reimbursed due to a patient not having insurance or the ability to pay for the cost of care. With the recent Medicaid expansion, Medicaid coverage is more accessible, so our uncompensated care is decreasing; but our commitment to serving this region and putting the patient first - always - is as important as ever.
