The NCK Health Care Foundation was formed in 1987 by citizens from around the county concerned about a critical shortage of physicians Republic County was facing and the future health care needs of the area. The Foundation’s mission is to ensure the continued success of Republic County Hospital, and to make sure comprehensive health care is available for future generations of residents. The Foundation works side by side with the staff of Republic County Hospital to achieve these goals.
As a county-owned institution, Republic County Hospital is strictly limited on how its resources can be used. Also, with the health care industry changes, Republic County Hospital faces challenges with cuts in Medicare reimbursement and increasing state and federal regulations. Bequests made to the hospital are specifically designated for use for improvements to the facility, or undesignated donations can be used for capital improvements at the direction of the hospital’s board of trustees. Bequest to the NCK Health Care Foundation can also be specifically earmarked for capital improvements or equipment purchases for Republic County Hospital or to the NCK Medical Arts Center. The Foundation has added flexibility of being able to use undesignated donations for recruitment of health care professionals and scholarships for students in the medical field, who plan to return to Republic County to work. How are Foundation funds used? The Foundation’s goal is to support the overall development, promotion, and improvement of health care services in the county. We hope to provide financial assistance for much needed programs including:

What is the Peter H. and Nellie T. Jorgensen Scholarship? Peter H. and Nellie T. Jorgensen held a deep interest and love for the Belleville community. They realized that good health care is a necessity if a community is to remain vital in serving its people. The Jorgensen’s had both been patients in the Republic County Hospital and received excellent care. Their bequest of $124,000 in 1988 to Republic County Hospital was given in gratitude of their success and for the love of their community. Educational scholarships in Family Health Care are awarded each year by the Jorgensen Scholarship Committee, a Standing Committee of the North Central Kansas Health Care Foundation. This committee selects recipients from among applications according to the criteria listed below.
The Jorgensen Committee meets on a quarterly basis on the second Wednesday of the months of: January, April, July, and October at Republic County Hospital. Applications must be received no later than the first Wednesday of the months of: January, April, July, and October. All applicants are required to be interviewed by the committee during their regular meeting. The Jorgensen Committee will make final decision of scholarship winners and the amount of each scholarship. Each scholarship winner will be notified by mail of the amount awarded and the required documentation needed in order to received funds. For more information about the Peter H. & Nellie T. Jorgensen Scholarship, please contact Karrie Holmes at (785)527-6055 or kholmes@RepublicCountyHospital.org
