Professional Education
The primary purpose of the Education
Department is the provision of opportunities for
personnel to gain additional skills, knowledge, and
attitudes necessary to perform their assigned
functions safely and effectively. Achievement of
this goal is an important contribution to the
delivery of quality health care at the Republic
County Hospital.

closely with Cloud County Community College and the
Northwest Kansas Area Health Education Center to
provide for all our nursing education needs as well
as the needs of other members of our healthcare team
including physical and occupational therapy,
respiratory therapy, and radiology.
Republic County Hospital is proud to have a
number of American Heart Association Basic Life
Support (CPR), First Aide and Advanced Cardiac Life
