Phelps Memorial Health Center Announces New Daytime Hospitalist Program and Provider  Recruitment 

HOLDREGE, Neb. – Phelps Memorial Health Center is developing a new daytime Hospitalist Program  to strengthen inpatient care coordination, improve communication, and support discharge planning  for patients during their hospital stay. 

Phelps Memorial has started recruiting Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) for the program, and  open positions are now posted. The hospitalist providers will support comprehensive inpatient care  during day hours, working closely with the care team and local primary care providers to help  patients and families stay informed and prepared for a safe transition home. 

“We’re fully supportive of this step forward, and we will work closely with the hospitalist and the full  care team to ensure patients experience coordinated, collaborative care that creates the best  situation for each patient and family,” said Dr. Jeff Berney, family practice provider and CEO at Family  Medical Specialties. 

“Our family practice providers have been instrumental in helping us launch this program, and we are  grateful for their strong support,” said Tesha Broadfoot, Chief Nursing Officer at Phelps Memorial.  “We will work closely with them and the full care team to ensure patients are cared for through a  collaborative approach that creates the best situation for each patient and family. This supports our  commitment to always providing exceptional quality and compassionate care for the families we  serve.” 

The program is currently in the planning phase. Additional information will be shared as providers are  hired and the program approaches launch.
