Columbus Community Hospital named Sempek Practice Manager for Local Rural Health Clinics

Columbus Community Hospital has named Chantel Sempek the new practice manager of the Humphrey and Lindsay medical clinics. In this position, she will be responsible for overseeing the clinics’ staff and day-to-day operations.

“Chantel’s diverse experience in health care and her genuine passion for serving rural communities will be a great asset for the future growth of the Humphrey and Lindsay medical clinics,” said Korie Whitmore, director of clinics at the hospital.

Sempek received her Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture education with an emphasis in leadership from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2015. Upon receiving her degree, she worked at East Central Public Health Department as the cancer prevention coordinator before being promoted to program manager. 

In December 2018, she joined the team at CCH as a physician relations representative. In this position, she  worked to ensure physicians were satisfied in their work and had everything they needed to care for patients.

Sempek started her new position March 1 and will split her time between the two clinics.

“I was looking for a growth opportunity, and practice management is something that has been on my radar for a while,” she said. “With the opening of the Lindsay clinic and the need for a practice manager, this role was a great opportunity for me to  grow the clinic.”

The Humphrey and Lindsay clinics are open five days a week, with the hours based on the needs of each town.

Sempek is a Lindsay native, and lives in Columbus with her husband, Jared, and their daughter, Hazel. She is looking forward to her new role at the clinics.

“Having the opportunity to come back to my hometown and help open a clinic is very exciting to me,” Sempek said. “I look forward to bringing health care to the community I grew up in.”
