MRHC Expands Access to Women’s Health Care with Jennifer Bruck, ARNP

Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) is pleased to announce that Jennifer Bruck, ARNP, will begin providing women’s health services in collaboration with Dr. Kelly Anderson starting July 16, 2026. Bruck will provide services in Manning on the second Thursday of each month, further strengthening MRHC’s dynamic team of women’s health providers and expanding the partnership with Myrtue Medical Center to provide specialized care close to home.

“I am excited to expand our services and care for women in the Manning and surrounding area,” said Jennifer Bruck, ARNP. “Women’s health is about so much more than just medical appointments; it’s about walking alongside a woman’s unique season of life and building lifelong relationships.”

Bruck brings extensive experience in obstetric and gynecological care and offers pap smears, routine OB appointments, hormone regulation therapy, contraceptive care, low milk supply guidance, family planning, menopause treatment, vaginal pessary care, and women’s health and preventative care. Her services complement the care already provided by Dr. Anderson and Dr. Woods, giving patients access to a collaborative women’s health team focused on compassionate, comprehensive care.

“My approach to healthcare is deeply collaborative. I don’t just want to be a provider. I want to be a true partner in health,” Bruck shared. “Bringing these dedicated services to the Manning community is a privilege, and I can’t wait to support patients with compassionate, comprehensive care that puts their wellness first.”

Jennifer earned her nursing degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University before completing her master’s at Clarkson College. Her nursing background includes experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha as well as bedside nursing on Myrtue Medical Center’s medical-surgical floor. She currently supports Dr. Anderson at Myrtue’s Women’s Health Clinic and provides newborn care at the Birthing Center.

“Jennifer is expanding access for patients alongside Dr. Anderson and Dr. Woods,” said MRHC CEO Shannon Black. “This is a great step forward in expanding specialty access for our community, and we are excited to welcome her to MRHC.”

Bruck will begin services at MRHC on July 16. Patients may schedule an appointment by calling (712) 655-8100.
