Bennett County Hospital and Rural Health Clinic

Living out here in Bennett County, we all look out for one another.

Whether we’re checking in on a neighbor down the road or catching up in Martin, community is everything. ❤️

Because May is Stroke Awareness Month, our team at Bennett County Hospital wanted to share something incredibly important. A stroke can happen out of nowhere, and out here, knowing the signs early makes all the difference.

If you remember one thing today, please memorize B.E. F.A.S.T.:

Balance: Are they suddenly dizzy or losing their balance?
Eyes: Is their vision suddenly blurry or double?
Face: Does one side of their face droop when they smile?
Arms: Does one arm drift downward when they try to raise both?
Speech: Are their words slurred or sounding a bit jumbled?
Time: Call 911 immediately. Every single second counts.

Our local critical access hospital and clinic teams are right here, close to home, and ready to help. But the very first line of defense is always a family member, a friend, or a neighbor who knows what to look for.

Do us a quick favor? Save this post, share it on your feed, or talk about it over coffee with someone you love today. It genuinely can save a life right here in our community.

Find your Purpose- Join our Bennett County Hospital Team!

Ever feel like just another face in a massive hospital system? Like you’re checking boxes instead of truly connecting with the people you treat?

If you are looking for a career change that actually feels meaningful, we’d love to talk to you about joining our team at Bennett County Hospital and Rural Health Clinic here in Martin.

Working at a Critical Access Hospital isn’t just a job—it’s a completely different way to practice healthcare. Here is why our team loves it out here:

✨ You actually know your patients. You aren't just treating a room number. You’re taking care of your neighbors, your friends, and the families who make up our community.
📈 Unmatched clinical growth. Because we are a smaller, tight-knit facility, you get to expand your skills across multiple areas rather than being pigeonholed into just one repetitive task.
🤝 A team that has your back. We are small enough that our CEO, nurses, lab techs, and clinic staff all know each other by name. We operate like a family.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or looking to take the next step in your career, we have open roles right now across our facilities.

We offer highly competitive rural wages, a great 401k match, generous PTO, and full health, dental, and vision insurance. But more than that, we offer a place where your skills are desperately needed and deeply appreciated every single day.

Ready to make a real difference close to home? Let’s chat. 😊

It can be tempting to skip that annual well-woman checkup. Don’t. There are many reasons to keep that appointment and visit with a healthcare provider - cancer screenings, birth control options, STI testing, weight management, depression screenings, and more. Be the healthiest you!

We were so excited to host the Bennett-County JAG (Jobs for America's Graduates) program here at the hospital! 🏥✨

It was such a pleasure welcoming these bright, motivated students for a behind-the-scenes look at the many different career paths in healthcare. We loved showing them how our team works together to care for our community—from patient care on the floors to the vital work done behind the scenes. 🩺💙

We were so busy enjoying the visit that we didn’t get nearly as many photos as we would have liked, but the energy and curiosity these students brought was the real highlight! 📸✨

Programs like JAG are so important for helping the next generation find their passion and build the skills they need for a successful future. We hope this visit inspired some future doctors, nurses, and healthcare leaders to join our mission one day! 🌟

Sometimes, the smallest moments have the biggest impact. One of our public health nurses recently received a handmade star quilt from a grateful family. A heartfelt reminder of the quiet, powerful work nurses do every day.

Public health nurses may not always see the ripple effects of their care, but their compassion and dedication truly matter.
