Missing Place: Oxford General Hospital

I noticed FamilySearch has begun adding hospitals in the past year. I don't know if you're making a systematic effort, or if you also accept ad-hoc submissions here. This is the hospital where I was born. It was renamed in 1964:

 

Latitude: 40.255650

Longitude: -99.638642

 

Time: from 1929 to 1964

Name: Oxford General Hospital

Located within: Oxford, Furnas, Nebraska, United States [4418075]

 

Time: from 1964 to 1989

This is from the book "Four Score and Seven" published in 1967, which describes the founding and later renaming of the hospital:
