Kearney Regional Medical Center Welcomes Jaci Dietz, PA-C
Kearney Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce that Jaci Dietz, PA-C, has joined our organization as a Physician Assistant within the Inpatient Cardiology team.
A Kearney native, Jaci is returning to her hometown to care for the community where she first discovered her passion for healthcare. She recently completed her Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where she gained strong training in evidence-based medicine and collaborative patient care.
During her supervised clinical rotations, Jaci developed hands-on experience in internal medicine, family medicine, cardiology, general and orthopaedic surgery, emergency medicine,
pediatrics, pulmonology, hematology and oncology, psychiatry, and women’s health. Her time in rural Nebraska strengthened her dedication to providing high-quality care in community-focused settings.
Jaci’s capstone project, “Integrating the CardioMEMS System into Mainstay Monitoring of Heart Failure Patients in Order to Improve Health Outcomes in Rural Communities,” reflects her interest in cardiology and her commitment to improving outcomes for rural patients.
Before becoming a PA, Jaci worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at CHI Good Samaritan in Kearney, supporting multiple units including the OR and PACU. She also gained research experience through the Child Health Research Institute.
Please join us in welcoming Jaci Dietz, PA-C, to Kearney Regional Medical Center.
