In a news release Wednesday GCH officials confirmed there are currently temporary orthopedic physicians seeing patients in the Flint Hills Orthopedic and Sports Medicine clinic, and different strategies are being explored for permanent coverage in the clinic, the continuance of orthopedic surgeries, and other forms of outpatient care.

“Our number one priority is to put our patients and families first and provide excellent care at Geary Community Hospital,” said Joe Stratton, GCH Chief Executive Officer. “We will move forward and continue to have a positive impact for the communities we serve in central and northeast Kansas.’
