About us

Located in the heart of Nebraska, Columbus Community Hospital (CCH) is a community-owned, not-for-profit hospital in Columbus, NE, that brings top-level health care close to home. The people of Platte County and the surrounding counties appreciate the opportunity to see both primary care providers and specialists without needing to travel to a larger city.

CCH is led by a local board of directors and the hospital has a staff that includes a president/CEO, five vice presidents, a medical staff of more than 50 active members and more than 900 employees. The hospital is also supported by more than 230 volunteers.

CCH is a 50-bed acute care facility that is certified for swing beds and 14 ambulatory outpatient beds. CCH’s Healthpark Medical Office Building currently houses a Visiting Physicians Clinic and the CCH laboratory, along with Columbus Otolaryngology Clinic, Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic, Columbus General Surgery, Columbus Psychiatry Clinic, Columbus Concussion Management Clinic, Columbus Dermatology Clinic, the hospital's Wound, Ostomy & Continence (W.O.C.) Health Center, and several other local health care providers.
