Recently, Platte County Memorial Hospital had a very special visit from the Nehring family!
Three years ago, the family had a tragic car accident that took the life of their oldest daughter, Lilli. In a very scary situation, how much scarier to think of being separated from your children; Stacy shares, “It pained me to be separated from my children, but I had faith in the first responders and staff at the hospital, that they would be treated with love and kindness.”
Three of their children were cared for at Platte County Memorial Hospital while the parent and two children were life-flighted to another facility. “After we were re-united, my children told me how they played games and how nice everyone at the hospital was. This meant the world to me – and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!” - Stacy and Josh Nehring

As well as called him a few days after discharge to ensure that everything was still okay.

This is a difficult decision to provide the safest environment for our patients and staff. Exceptions are reviewed in end-of-life and critical care conditions. Minors may be accompanied by a guardian and labor patients/disabled patients may be accompanied by a support individual.
We recognize how important family support is during a hospital stay and we are encouraging the use of phone calls and video conferencing to stay connected with your loved ones. We are equipped with Virtual Visitation devices for patients who may not have a device and can help to connect you with a video call.

Happy Thanksgiving from Platte County Memorial Hospital!
Stay safe Platte County, with small gatherings, safe-distancing, appropriate masking, and frequent hand-washing. We are stronger together and can keep each other safe!
With multiple respiratory illnesses in the winter months, it can be hard to determine what's what. Use this as a resource!
Keep your family safe by continuing to practice social distancing! Be thankful for your loved ones…from a distance. Remember, it’s not bad – it’s just different!
Instead of gathering, send them a card.
Instead of making a new memories, call them and reminisce over past memories.
Instead of shopping, grab a board game or build a living room fort with the kids.
Stay safe Platte County…your hospital, your health.
Banner Medical Clinics in Wheatland and Guernsey will be closed Thursday, November 26th through Saturday, November 28th in observance of Thanksgiving. Have a safe and happy holiday!
During this season of reflection, it’s easy to look back on 2020 and wish things were different. Yes, it’s been a stressful year: new, different, scary, sometimes disappointing. We’ve experienced loss in so many ways while we have faced the unknown. At Platte County Memorial Hospital, Senior Leadership would like to take a moment to share our gratitude for our staff. Every employee has overcome challenges and we are all better and stronger together because of it. No matter what an employee’s position is everyone has pulled together to take of our patients and our community with the utmost quality of care! We are deeply grateful for each one of you and recognize the courage you’ve displayed. We appreciate the sacrifices you and your families have made to keep Platte County safe. Platte County Memorial Hospital is your hospital and we are #BannerStrong!

Did you know 1 in 3 women die of heart disease and stroke each year?
You can join the movement to end heart disease and stroke by taking part in the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women initiative!
Here’s what it means to Go Red:
G: GET YOUR NUMBERS 👩⚕️
Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol.
O: OWN YOUR LIFESTYLE 🏃♀️
Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise, and eat healthy.
