Hospital welcomes new doctor

Looking for a change of pace and a better quality of life, Dr. Regg Hagge moved with his family, wife Danielle and their 4 daughters, to Newcastle to join the staff at Weston County Health Services. Hagge, who began work in Newcastle on Aug. 1,  and his family have already become quite involved in Weston County life. 

Born and raised in Bloomfield, Nebraska, Hagge stayed close to home to attend college. He attended undergraduate school at Chadron State College in Nebraska before moving on to The University of Nebraska medical school. 

After school at the University of Nebraska, from where he graduated in 1998, Hagge practiced family medicine for the last 10 years in South Dakota, where he met WCHS CEO Maureen Cadwell. Prior to South Dakota, Hagge worked in Nebraska.
