(KLZA)-- The Johnson County Hospital in Tecumseh has been recognized as the I Love Rural Health Critical Access Hospital Advocate of the Year for 2024.

According to an article on the hospitals social media page, the award recognizes exemplary and sustained contributions in rural health advocacy by an organization.

Hospital CEO Mary Kent said “ the award recognizes the hard work everyone on the JCH team contributes to 340B and the many services we are able to offer the community because of this program.”

The 340B program enables providers and pharmacies to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services.

I Love Rural Health was established to celebrate stories of strength and success across Nebraska rural health care — even in the face of evolving modern challenges. The I Love Rural Health campaign is powered by the Nebraska Rural Health Association.

The Johnson County Hospital is an 18-bed Critical Access Hospital providing the people of Johnson County and surrounding counties with many services in Tecumseh. The hospital opened in 1958 as a county owned hospital.
