Fillmore County Hospital sits at 1325 H Street in Geneva, Nebraska, and it's a general medical and surgical hospital serving people in Fillmore County and the surrounding areas, and although you'll see the hospital itself is a critical access hospital with 25 inpatient beds-some places mention 17-there's also an assisted living community right on the grounds for seniors who need some extra help getting through the day, and you'll find staff ready to assist with everything from incontinence care and non-ambulatory care to advanced diabetic support, because there are specialized care options for things like diabetes and even dermatology at some affiliated clinics, and when residents want to socialize, there are indoor common areas where folks can sit together, play games, or share a meal, since nutritious dining is part of the daily routine here, and if someone likes to get out and about, there are off-site activity programs and devotional services to help keep people engaged both mentally and spiritually, though the hospital itself doesn't run the religious services, since those take place off-campus most times.
Emergency services are available right away, with nearby doctors, internal medicine, and general and family practice physicians ready to respond, plus there are many health programs at hand: surgical care like open hernia repair, therapy options including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, advanced knee surgeries with robotic help, skilled care units for those who need more support, and specialist visits for everything from cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, and rheumatology to OB/GYN, neurology, and pulmonology, with orthopedic care provided through Touchstone Orthopaedics, and there are psychiatrists and psychoanalysts nearby for behavioral health support when folks need someone to talk to. There's a focus on patient education here because a dedicated Patient Education Director is part of the leadership, and support groups meet to share stories and advice, so no one feels left alone.
The hospital got its start from the joining of the Ashby Clinic and Family Health Services Clinic, and now it provides plenty of inpatient and outpatient care, maternity, surgery, lab screenings, radiology, pharmacy services, a cancer care program, cardiac rehab, sleep studies, pediatric therapy, and case management, all supervised by a team that includes a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, heads of Human Resources, Compliance, Security, Operations, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Education, and the hospital aims for modern, careful care, with some of its procedures coming in under the usual prices. Fillmore County Hospital also works with Jefferson Community Health & Life for home health, fitness programs, long-term care, and a clinic in Fairbury for those seeking primary care elsewhere. Expansion is ongoing, particularly for occupational and speech therapy spaces. Residents have access to community support groups, therapy, various screenings, and a social service department aimed at keeping everyone active and healthy for as long as possible. There's a website at myfch.org, but the main activity happens in Geneva, where most staff live in town or nearby, and you won't see any pushy sales tactics, just health workers, caregivers, and residents all doing their best together each day.
