A man's health can be judged by which
he takes two at a time - pills or stairs.

It takes a special person to provide healthcare in a small, rural community. Throughout the day, rural healthcare providers may treat their neighbor, their child's friend from school or an acquaintance from church.

Harney District Hospital boasts a strong group of healthcare professionals, professionals who live and work in this community and are heavily invested in its well-being. Not only is the level of professional care high; dedicated personal care is a trademark of our healthcare providers.
