Enhancing the lives of those we serve

We’ve partnered with HFG Architecture and McCarthy Building Companies to design and build the new facility, ensuring that it meets both the functional needs of staff and the care needs of patients.

Our current hospital, built in 1982, has reached its capacity. With patient volumes steadily increasing, this new 180,000-square-foot facility will allow us to meet the growing healthcare needs of Thomas County and the surrounding region for years to come.

In 2018, the Citizens Health Board of Trustees launched a strategic Master Facility Plan, building on an existing organizational strategy, to explore ways to maintain high-quality healthcare in Northwest Kansas. In January 2020 the Board initiated a Financial Analysis and Planning Study. This study evaluated the best ways to ensure high-quality healthcare for our region. The study, along with input from community members and healthcare professionals, led to the decision to build a new, state-of-the-art facility to meet growing patient needs and support our expanding staff.

We’re still accepting donations to help fund the completion of the project. To learn more about how you can contribute, visit buildourhospital.org or contact Jen Schoenfeld, Executive Director of the Citizens Foundation.

Family Center for Healthcare and the Citizens Medical Center will be repurposed. Citizens Clubhouse and departments that do not directly impact patient care will remain in the existing buildings.
