HaysMed Welcomes Sarah Powers, APRN, to the DeBakey Heart Institute

HaysMed is pleased to welcome Sarah Powers, APRN, to the DeBakey Heart Institute cardiovascular and thoracic surgery team. Sarah has been a valued member of the HaysMed team since 2010, serving in a variety of clinical roles across the organization. Most recently, she completed her Doctor of Nursing Practice from Fort Hays State University, further elevating her ability to deliver advanced, patient-centered care.

Sarah began her career at HaysMed as a float CNA in the clinics and launched her nursing career on the medical floor. She later transitioned to the ICU, where she developed a strong interest in complex patient care and cardiology. Over the years, she has supported several departments, including Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Associate Health, and most recently, the Emergency Room.

“I’ve truly enjoyed serving the people of western Kansas and Hays,” said Powers. “Working in both the clinic and in the OR is something I’m really looking forward to. I’ve professionally grown up with these nurses, providers, and staff. Being on both sides of inpatient and outpatient care is a real passion of mine, and I’m very excited for what’s ahead.”

In her new role, Sarah will provide comprehensive cardiology care, supporting both inpatient and outpatient services, and contributing to the continued growth of the DeBakey Heart Institute’s mission to deliver exceptional cardiovascular care to the region.

Please join us in welcoming Sarah Powers, APRN, as she continues her journey of compassionate, expert care, now as a key member of the HaysMed cardiology team.
