Nurse practitioners providing better access to healthcare in rural NE

If you live in a rural area in Nebraska chances are you may have to drive up to an hour away to get adequate healthcare , sometimes even further. A legislative bill is cutting the red tape for Nurse Practitioners to be more independent and provide greater access to healthcare. In Sutherland Herb and Sandra Meissner say it can be tough finding good healthcare because they live in a smaller community. "Every time we go to North Platte it's a 46-mile round trip and to here it's less than a mile and a half," said Herb.
