Cloud County Health Center is excited to announce they plan to open the new North Central Kansas Medical Center on Monday, October 24th.

In an effort to meet the growing health care needs of the community, Cloud County Health Center broke ground on a new single-story, state-of-the-art health care facility in Concordia in March of 2021.  The new facility will be located close to US Highway 81 along College Drive.

The Cloud County Health Center will change its name to North Central Kansas Medical Center as it transitions to the new building.

Dave Garnas, Administrator of the Cloud County Health Center, says they are asking for the community's assistance to help them move as they relocate to the new hospital this fall.
