HaysMed is proud to welcome Don Wynn, MD, a highly experienced interventional pulmonologist with over 20 years of clinical expertise in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Dr. Wynn is board certified in all three specialties since 2006, bringing a wealth of knowledge and compassionate care to Hays and the western Kansas region.

Dr. Wynn earned his Doctor of Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA, and completed his Internal Medicine Residency at Orlando Regional Medical Center in Florida.

Throughout his career, Dr. Wynn has practiced in several states including Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, and others, helping thousands of patients breathe easier and live healthier lives. His approach combines advanced technology with personalized care, making him a trusted resource for patients with complex lung and breathing conditions.

At HaysMed, Dr. Wynn performs a variety of procedures to help diagnose and treat lung diseases in ways that are less invasive and more comfortable for patients. These include using advanced scopes and imaging to examine the lungs, placing stents to open blocked airways, and performing targeted treatments for asthma and emphysema. He also provides care for patients in critical condition, including placing breathing tubes, managing fluid around the lungs, and performing biopsies to help identify lung conditions early.

Dr. Wynn joins a well-established and respected pulmonology team at HaysMed, which includes Douglas Tangel, MD and Lesa Klozenbucher, APRN. Together, this team brings decades of combined experience in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions, ensuring that patients across western Kansas continue to receive high-quality, compassionate care. Their collaborative approach reflects HaysMed’s ongoing commitment to excellence in pulmonary medicine.

The Center for Health Improvement (CHI) at HaysMed is teaming up with The Grove to bring a bold new vision to life- Lifelong Vitality! This nearly $1M initiative will create a 25,000 sq ft outdoor fitness space designed for all ages and available to the public adjacent to the CHI and the new Bob and Pat Schmidt Community Center.

HaysMed proudly donated the land to Grow Hays to support this transformative development, which includes senior housing, childcare, and community spaces, all aimed at improving health and quality of life in Ellis County.

The accompanying photos illustrate examples of the outdoor fitness equipment that will be incorporated into the Lifelong Vitality project, designed to support inclusive, multigenerational physical activity and promote shared wellness experiences.
