Antelope Memorial Hospital welcomes Anita Murphy, PA-C, to its medical staff this month. Originally from Petersburg, Murphy is a 2003 graduate of Boone Central High School. She attended Doane College, graduating in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. While at Doane College, she did biomedical research that included HIV and pseudomonas research. In fall 2007, she began a 28-month physician assistant program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, graduating in December 2010. She became board certified in January 2011.

Murphy began her career working at Litzenburg Hospital in Central City for 18 months. She then moved closer to home and worked at Tilden Community Hospital for about two years. In July 2014, the hospital was consolidated with Faith Regional Health Services. She then worked for FRHS at its medical clinic located in Tilden until joining Antelope Memorial Hospital this month.

"I'm excited to be a part of Antelope Memorial Hospital and to work in a system that has local control," said Murphy. "Plus, it's a super community here and has a lot to offer. Everyone at AMH has been very helpful and supportive. I feel everyone wants to help the patient succeed. It's not about the money – but about the patient. That's important to me. I look forward to getting to know our patients and their families in the future."

Murphy joins AMH's medical staff which consists of seven other providers. Dr. Roger Rudloff and Dr. Troy Dawson began their careers at AMH in May and July 1997, respectively. Other providers who joined the medical staff more recently are Ashley Niewohner, APRN (July 2016), Angela Sucha, PA-C (September 2017), Dr. Kelli Osborn, (November 2018), Amanda Wolff (January 2020) and Dr. Josh Thoendel (June 2021).

Murphy and her husband, Tommy, and family reside in Petersburg. They have five children including Mariah, Patrick, Jaylynn, Mollie and Tucker.
