CURTIS, Neb. (KNOP) - Citing inflation over the past few years combined with uncertainty of future federal funding, Community Hospital has made the decision to close Curtis Medical Center, although an exact date for the closure is yet to be determined.
Curtis Medical Center has served the Curtis community and surrounding areas for over 30 years, providing essential healthcare services to families, students and individuals in this rural region. Community Hospital said the decision to close the facility was not made lightly and follows extensive evaluation of financial sustainability and resource allocation.
