2006 - 2012
The next large building project for the hospital was one that allowed all clinics in Alliance to relocate under one roof within a new facility attached to the hospital.
The Medical Arts Plaza plan was approved in 2006 by the Box Butte General Hospital Board of Trustees, with groundbreaking occurring in November of that year. Members of the Board of Trustees when the plan was approved included D.N. Taylor, Jr., DDS, David Briggs, Arnie Kuhn, Ted Bohlen and Dr. Bruce Forney.
Funding sources included a PREMA/USDA Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant, which provided $740,000 in the form of a loan and $300,000 in the form of a grant, with the grant staying in the community as a revolving loan fund benefiting other local economic development projects.
Funding also came from First National Bank North Platte, as well as self-financing from Box Butte General Hospital.
The Medical Arts Plaza dedication was held on October 28, 2007.
Utilizing the Medical Arts Plaza are the private practice of Alliance Family Medicine and the BBGH operated Greater Nebraska Medical & Surgical Services clinics, including Family Medicine; Orthopedic Surgery & Sports Medicine; Orthopedic Spine Surgery; Pain Medicine; Orthopedic Foot/Ankle Surgery; Urology; and ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery.
