The town of Colby is on its way to having a new hospital. On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture officially announced that it is lending more than $108 million to the project. Citizens Health says it wants to expand critical health care services. The new facility will incorporate operations of the current hospital, Citizens Medical Center, and Family Center for Health Care clinic under one roof. Work has already started. Crews broke ground for the new hospital two weeks ago. It is south of the existing hospital that was built in 1982.
