Progress In Our Community
Pickleball Courts
Located at Russell Park in McCook, NE
A local group of passionate pickleball players lead the project. It included expanding and resurfacing the current court to accommodate three full size pickleball courts and includes permanent netting, fencing and lighting.
Story Walk
An interactive reading experience now available at the Kelley Creek Walking Trail.
Molly Herzberg got the green light for Story Walk after seeing one in her hometown in Iowa. The hospital purchased the podiums. Employees from the City of McCook Public Works department installed the podiums and Jody Crocker, director of the McCook City Library, contributes stories.
Communities of Excellence Bronze Award
McCook on the Move members are excited to be awarded the Communities of Excellence Bronze recognition for strides made to enhance the quality of life for its residents. Baleigh Abbott, Community Hospital’s Outreach Coordinator received the award last week at the COE Fall Conference in Wisconsin.
The hospital’s role as a backbone organization for COE, newly named McCook on the Move, has been to bring together community leaders, residents, and customers to create a collaborative community that focuses on four pillars: Family, Health, Education, and Economic Vitality.
The goal of the national COE program is to assist and support communities as they implement the Community Performance Excellence Framework to enable communities and their residents to achieve better health outcomes, higher education attainment, and economic growth.
