Testimonials

“The nurses and Dr. Darnauer were incredible—she’s a wonderful doctor who genuinely cares about your birth plan and ensures the well-being of both mom and baby. She’s the reason I drive from Great Bend to Sterling for OB care.”

“Over the past 6 months, I’ve had a hernia that has caused some bad days and others where it wasn’t noticeable. I’m so thankful for the kind people at Rice Community Hospital for a 10/10 experience. I’m at home healing now, enjoying God’s gift of modern medicine.”

“If I could give Rice Community Hospital 10000 stars I would. I want to thank Dr. Shelter and the great nurses for taking care of my daughter when she broke her wrist. The whole staff is amazing. It was her first broken bone and you made her feel so comfortable and safe.”

“Our baby girl arrived yesterday, despite the odds of my age and IUD. While I struggled with this pregnancy at first, I know for sure that she is meant to be here. Go change the world, Charley girl!”
