Great Things Are Happening

A message from Regional West Interim CEO Mel McNea

Great things are happening at Regional West. Just this week, the Regional West Foundation Board of Directors announced $38,500 in scholarships awarded to 16 students enrolled at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) School of Nursing and Western Nebraska Community College (WNCC). Each year, the Regional West Foundation grants health education scholarships to students from Regional West’s service area. After graduation, many students pursue employment in the communities Regional West serves. Scholarship awards are split between the 2023 fall and 2024 spring semesters.

Backed by Regional West’s Connie Frank Cardiac Catheterization Lab, the Cardiology Clinic provides specialty care in areas such as cardiac rehabilitation, nuclear cardiology, electrocardiograms, and more.
