Ancillary Services
Radiology is staffed by Radiology Technologists licensed by the State
of Nebraska. Each technologist is highly experienced in producing quality
X-rays on patients of all ages, newborn through geriatric. They also have
training in the performance of DEXA scans. This enables our physicians to
detect and treat osteoporosis and osteopenia through bone density measurement. Laboratory
is staffed by Medical Technologists certified by the American Society of
Clinical Pathologists. The lab is inspected biannually by the State of
Nebraska under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act to perform High
Complexity Testing of body fluids. We offer a broad range of laboratory
tests which enable our physicians to diagnose and treat patients more
efficiently. Highly specialized tests are performed by drawing specimens
and sending them to Physicians Laboratory Services in Omaha or St. Francis
Medical Center in Grand Island. The technologists also monitor the
collection of urine drug screens and are certified to perform Breath Alcohol
Testing according to the requirements of the Department of Transportation in
order for companies to promote a drug free work place. Nurses Station
is staffed by both RNs and LPNs licensed by the State of Nebraska and a
Respiratory Therapist. They
administer all injections and assist physicians in minor surgical
procedures. Through their expertise patients are able to receive
intravenous medications and fluid replacement therefore avoiding hospitalization
for mild cases of dehydration. By frequent inservices provided by
pediatric pulmonologists, the nurses are proficient in assessing pulmonary
functions which enables the physician to determine the need for inhalation
therapy. By providing breathing treatments to the patient while at the
Clinic, the physician can monitor the patient's response to the treatment which
often times prevents the need for hospitalization. Obstetrric & Gynecologic
Ultrasounds are performed by our highly experienced OB/GYN Physicians.

eliminates the need for an additional stop before going home. The
pharmacist also provides a resource to our physicians in preventing the
occurrence of drug interactions. Practice Guidelines Prescriptions
