A Message from Dr. K
Stormont Vail Health has long been a leader in providing high-quality health care to Kansans. We take pride in the history on which our system was built. We are an indispensable community asset; locally owned, locally governed. A health system that knows our communities and regions that we serve. We are neighbors helping neighbors, striving to treat everyone who walks through our doors as we would our own family. For us, it is about care and caring.
When it comes to the care we provide, we invest in the best providers, most up-to-date technology and services to ensure you are receiving high-quality, evidence-based care. Our investment is an investment in our communities. This means you are able to receive care close to home, avoid lost work time and unnecessary travel expenses. We also believe that partnerships with our patients, other health care providers, community groups and organizations, is key in delivering the best possible care to our communities.
When it comes to our caring, Stormont Vail is committed to our Small Moments culture. We know that each person who walks through our doors has a story – a past, a present and a future. Every interaction we have, whether big or small, is an opportunity to create a positive impact. We know that by creating these Small Moments, we strengthen our relationship with those we serve, and through these relationships, we are able to improve the health of the community – our mission.
