LETTER TO THE EDITOR: PHYSICIAN: REGIONAL WEST STRIVES TO PROVIDE BEST CARE

To the Editor,



I recently had both the pleasure and privilege of celebrating a 25-year
anniversary at Regional West Medical Center.



During that time, I had my own practice and then in 2015 made the decision to
join the Regional West Physicians Clinic, a multi-specialty group. Needless to
say, in 25 years I bore witness to many changes within the institution and
medical care in general. I have seen changes in administration, changes in
colleagues, changes in staff and changes in technologies.

The one constant that I have seen is the desire and striving to improve the
institution. Regional West is a Level II trauma Center and services a population
base not only within the Panhandle of Nebraska but parts of Wyoming, Colorado
and South Dakota. To maintain its Level II status, certain minimal thresholds
must be met. Not only are those met, but Regional West has earned accreditations
from numerous organizations including the Joint Commission, the American College
of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, and several others. Regional West has earned
these merits as a non-profit institution in a time of big business and a time
where the health care field is suffering from a decline in providers across the
board and continues to suffer from provider shortages. And let's not forget the
Pandemic that impacted everyone and changed health care as well.

Is Regional West perfect? No, but no organization is likely to merit the label
of perfect! However, Regional West is a team that continues to exhibit itself
with a desire, that is coupled with hard work to continually improve and provide
the best care for this community and the others that it services. This is
demonstrated by the continued investments in technologies that allows the Center
to provide state of the art care. Regional West has also entered partnerships
with other organizations, to include the University of Colorado, to minimize any
impacts of the health care provider shortage.

Mark Hartman, M.D., Regional West Physicians Clinic Board chairman, Scottsbluff
