Stormont Vail Reps Connect with Community at Discover Healthcare in MHK

We had a great time connecting with community members at the inaugural Discover Healthcare in MHK event last Saturday, April 5. Team members from our Manhattan Campus, Flint Hills Campus, and Mobile Clinic came together at the Manhattan Town Center to share more about our services at each campus. Plus, our on-site Mobile Clinic made it easy for attendees to get convenient lab draws then and there.

Shout out to everyone who participated and represented Stormont Vail; your enthusiasm and support make a real difference.

Measles Awareness and Vaccination Information

With measles now reported in several southwest Kansas counties, it’s a good time to be aware of the symptoms of this highly contagious respiratory illness and understand how vaccinations can protect you and your family members. A special page on the Stormont Vail website provides information and resources. Talk with your primary care provider if you have questions or want to schedule a vaccine.

We together,
Dr. Kenagy
