Phelps Memorial Health Center

In 2025, Phelps Memorial Health Center was honored to be named one of the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals in the nation, recognizing our commitment to excellence in rural healthcare. We continue to grow services that make a difference for women and families close to home.  And just this fall, we welcomed Dr. Kevin Amthor, our newest primary care physician, to the Holdrege medical community.

In addition, we have:

• A top-notch Cardiology Program with Pioneer Heart Institute, bringing advanced cardiology care close to home. 
• In Sept. 2025 we began to have robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery at PMHC offering the most advanced orthopedic technology in central Nebraska. 
• A strengthened Spine Surgery team, now includes Dr. Daniel Possley alongside Dr. Henry Fabian. PMHC has earned Blue Distinction for the Spine Surgery Designation from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska. 

We are committed to always providing an exceptional quality experience. We employ nearly 350 healthcare professionals and contract with an additional 150 to provide over 100 healthcare services for our patients and customers. Our growth is attributed to the continued support and commitment of the residents of Phelps County, who have worked to ensure we remain a strong partner in our community.
