Leading Rural Health in our Communities. Always

By Gayla Wichman - HaysMed News

A Message from the CEO

Dear Friends of HaysMed,

As we work toward our vision of becoming the best tertiary care center in rural America, excitement is building about what the future holds – for the Hays community and across western Kansas.

Returning to our roots as HaysMed, we remain committed to meeting the unique needs of those we serve. Whether you are a HaysMed patient, physician, provider, associate, donor, leader or friend in the community, we want you to know we are stronger than ever. We believe HaysMed can best support the long-term health and wellness of our local communities, and with our eyes on the future, there are no limits to our ability to lead rural health in our communities – always.

I am proud to report that we have added nearly 20 new providers to our Medical Staff since April, our specialty outreach clinics remain vibrant across our multiple locations in Kansas. We are also expanding several service lines in the coming months, furthering our reach in high-quality, local healthcare. These developments have a very positive impact because they increase access and improve services for every patient we serve, both at HaysMed and through our network of providers and hospital partners across the region.

With our vision for the future and your much-appreciated support, we will continue our position of strength as rural health leaders for generations to come. Our values of Respect, Compassion, Spirituality, Trustworthiness, Excellence and Professionalism will continue to drive us forward in our mission as we continue to provide high-quality, local healthcare. From more providers to enhanced services, we’re bringing you every reason to choose HaysMed. It’s all part of our commitment to you, and to everyone we serve.

Thank you for your support. I wish you all the greatest of health!

HaysMed Celebrates 2021 National Nurse Practitioner Week November 7-13

By Gayla Wichman - HaysMed News,Nursing News

Hays, KS Every day, nurse practitioners (NPs) are saving lives and improving the health of our friends and family. To honor their efforts, hospitals nationwide are recognizing the critical role of NPs as part of the annual National Nurse Practitioner Week (NP Week) celebration, held November 7-13 this year.

NPs provide a wide range of care to America’s patients in more than 1 billion visits annually. This year, the NP Week theme is “NPs: Going the Extra Mile,” recognizes the contributions more than 325,000 licensed NPs make to the health of patients nationwide. These health care professionals practice in clinics, hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centers, nursing homes and private practices across the country — wherever patients are in need — and continue to provide front-line care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NPs assess patients, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses and provide treatment, including prescribing medications. As clinicians who blend clinical expertise with an added emphasis on disease prevention and health management, NPs are the health care provider of choice for millions of Americans.

“NPs play a critical role in treating patients,” said Terry Siek, Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President for Patient Care.  “They play a key role in strengthening our ability to ensure patients have access to high-quality care.”

HaysMed employs 26 NPs at the hospital and clinics.
