  semi- private rooms, a spacious dining room and and best of all

  Minden Medical Clinic and Kearney County Hospital share the same

  campus so emergency services are immediately available.

  departments, as well as the Minden Medical Clinic, residents have

  easy access to specialty clinics such as cardiology, urology, podiatry

  and orthopedic services. KCHS providers can provide on-site

  diagnoses and treatment. If hospitalization is necessary it is just a few 

  minutes away.
