HaysMed Art Collection
The Hadley Foundation Art Collection at HaysMed includes over 408 works of art created by Kansas artists. This collection of original work began in 1974 at the Hadley Regional Medical Center and continued with the merger of St. Anthony Hospital in 1991, when the two hospitals became HaysMed.
To take a self-guided tour of the Art Collection located in public areas around the hospital, stop by a HaysMed Information Desk for a helpful brochure. Guided tours may be arranged with advance request by calling the Volunteer Services Office at 785-623-5890. While art pieces in restricted areas are not generally open to the public, special arrangements for viewing, without interfering with medical services or administrative operations, may be made in advance.
The Art Collection has been funded primarily by the Hadley Foundation. HaysMed Volunteers funded the Meditation Garden, and the Ross Foundation funded the mobile in the Miller Medical Pavilion lobby. Additional funds have been provided for the purchase of artwork from other resources. Several works of art have been given as memorials with the approval of the Visual Arts Committee. The Art Collection is on permanent loan to HaysMed.
HaysMed building décor in itself is a work of art deserving a tour. The Healthcare 2000 Interior Design Concept is a Northwest Kansas motif which is used in the design concept for the decor and furnishings at HaysMed. Native limestone boulders are combined in a two-story atrium entrance composition incorporating a waterfall and plantings. Colors and textures indigenous to the area are used throughout. The five horizontal bands of the wall covering repeat the limestone strata.
Art Collection Selection Process
The Visual Arts Committee follows established guidelines to select the art. Only well-established professional Kansas artists qualify for consideration. Included in the Art Collection are paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and fabrics. Currently, 22 Governor’s Artists Award winners are represented.
The Hadley Foundation Art Collection received the Governor’s Award for Art Patron in 1994. The Hays Arts Council recommendation noted the overall commitment of the Hadley Foundation in the support and purchase of art. The Governor’s Award acknowledges the importance of the Art Collection within HaysMed and also that HaysMed has become a major repository of works by Kansas artists.
National health organizations encourage and support the integration of “the arts” into the healing process. Indeed, the Hadley Foundation Art Collection pioneered the concept of utilizing original art in a healthcare institution. The Art Collection recognizes the therapeutic value as well as the aesthetic enrichment of the visual arts for HaysMed. Because health involves both physical and mental wellbeing, creating an atmosphere which enhances that spirit is an essential aspect of HaysMed’s commitment to the arts.
The Arts and the Healing Process
The Hadley Foundation Art Collection is a pioneer in recognizing the aesthetic and therapeutic enrichment of the visual arts in a healthcare setting. That realization has been the historical basis and the focus of the Healthcare 2000 Interior Design Concept. National health organizations encourage and support the integration of “the Arts” into the healing process, and it has existed for years at HaysMed.
Therapeutic Value of Art
The aesthetic value of the Art Collection was the initial goal. However, that goal was achieved and surpassed by the realization of the additional therapeutic value it offered to patients, families, visitors and associates. Stroke patients who have particular difficulty with initiation of spontaneous speech, or with unilateral neglect of one side or the other, respond well when introduced to the variety of displayed artwork. It has proved to “soothe the soul” and provide comfort during difficult situations.
Family members can relieve stress by reflecting on the artwork displayed in the halls. Visitors remark upon the impressive variety, quality and added dimension that the Art Collection contributes to the HaysMed experience.
HaysMed associates refer to the Art Collection with pride and often develop “ownership” of favorite pieces. Administration receives favorable comments on a regular basis and includes the art tour for visiting dignitaries.
Expansion of HaysMed Art Collection
The DeBakey Heart Institute and Rehabilitation Center in the Bickle Pavilion was completed in the spring of 2005. Expanding the Art Collection into the new area was funded by a Hadley Foundation grant. One of the features the grant allowed was placement of original art in each patient room in the new building.
Noted Kansas artists are represented in the Dreiling/Schmidt Cancer Institute. Consideration is given to the subject matter of the artwork in this area of medical care. Included in the collection is a major work of art known as the “Leaves of Life” recognizing the journey of those whose lives have been touched by cancer.
The Hadley Foundation
The Hadley Foundation was established in 1991 to provide support for the activities and mission of HaysMed. Its resources originate from the estate of the late Mark Hadley whose ancestors were early settlers in Ellis and Rooks Counties and successful in the ranching and oil business. The Foundation is governed by a board of eight community volunteers.

Pastoral Care
The Pastoral Care Service strives to be a channel of peace, offering compassion and support and the healing power of God to patients, their families and hospital associates. This is done mainly through direct patient visits, the sharing of sacraments and the offering of prayer and spiritual counsel. If the patient desires, Pastoral Care will contact his or her parish, congregation or clergy person. Finally, Pastoral Care works as an integral part of the healthcare team to provide meaningful, quality patient care.
Any patient or family member may call Pastoral Care by dialing 785-623-5000 and asking to speak with a chaplain.

Your patient portal gives you direct online access to portions of your electronic medical record where your health care provider stores your health information. Your diagnostic test results, appointment information, prescription medications, immunizations, and more are all securely stored in this electronic record for quick retrieval – so you see what your provider sees!
Your patient portal also provides new, convenient methods of communication with your provider’s office. Send messages and schedule/cancel appointments (where applicable) – all online.
There are so many ways to enroll in our patient portal, so you make the choice:
- Enroll here online.

If you have questions or problems using the portal, you can call 785-623-5151 or email us at patientportal@haysmed.com.
Why is Open Access Important to Patients?
Open access to your medical record is a way for you to become more informed and involved in your care. HaysMed invites you to review your visit notes written by your doctor, nurse or other clinicians involved in your care through our convenient patient portal.
Having the chance to read and discuss clinic visit notes with your physician or family member can help you take better control of your health and health care. Patients with access to their doctors’ notes feel more in control of their care and gain a better understanding of their health. Chances are that you will have a better recall of your care plan and you are also more likely to take your medications as prescribed.
Portal Information for Minor Patients Age 0-11 Years Old
For access to a minor patient’s patient portal, a parent or legal guardian may be granted full access until the minor reaches age twelve (12) years. On the patient’s twelfth (12th) birthday, the parent or legal guardian’s access will automatically be terminated.

- Parent of a child between the ages of 12-17 years old
- Spouse
- Caregiver

- Legal Guardian
An adult patient can request proxy access for another individual by completing the form entitled Patient portal Proxy Access Request for Adult Patients.

Bariatric Vitamins
Bariatric vitamins are highly recommended for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. Through HaysMed’s Bariatric Surgery Program, Medical Pavilion Pharmacy offers Celebrate Bariatric Vitamins to patients who have undergone these procedures. Due to the stresses that occur during surgery and the various physiological changes that result from the procedure, supplementation with vitamins and minerals is necessary for proper healing and good health.
Regular adult or children’s multivitamins do not effectively meet the needs of bariatric patients. Celebrate products were designed specifically to meet the requirements of these patients and make supplementation easy. All of their ingredients have the highest bioavailability to ensure great absorption. For more information on Celebrate Vitamins, visit their website.
