North Platte, Neb., October 23, 2023 – Fitzpatrick Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic has  officially joined the Great Plains Health family. Starting on November 1, 2023, the clinic  will operate under its new name, Great Plains Health Ear, Nose & Throat. Drs. Philip  and Elaine Fitzpatrick, owners of Fitzpatrick Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic, approached  leadership at Great Plains Health in early 2023 with the desire to partner. 

“This opportunity allows us as physicians to focus on our passion for exceptional patient  care and streamline the patient experience with patient records, communication and  billing,” Drs. Philip and Elaine Fitzpatrick said. 

“The board of directors at Great Plains Health sees the value of offering top-of-the-line  otolaryngology care to the region and voted to move forward with the partnership in  order to ensure access, growth and continued local leadership of these services,” Ivan  Mitchell, Great Plains Health chief executive officer, said. 

The clinic’s service offerings and location remain the same, 801 William Ave., North  Platte, Neb. 

“It has been a privilege to serve patients these past 22 years as Fitzpatrick Ear, Nose &  Throat Clinic,” Drs. Philip and Elaine Fitzpatrick said. “We look forward to continuing to  serve patients for many more years as Great Plains Health Ear, Nose & Throat.”  

Drs. Philip and Elaine Fitzpatrick are board-certified physicians through the American  Board of Otolaryngology. Both doctors earned their medical degrees at Tulane  University School of Medicine in New Orleans, LA.
