Visionary Healthcare: A Letter from Our CEO

For more than 20 years, rural medicine and patient care have been my passion. There is something extremely special about small-town health care – the community. And you deserve the best care. But in the last several years, rural healthcare has experienced some of the most adverse and uncertain times that the world of medicine has ever seen. Many rural hospitals and clinics have closed, leaving you burdened with the stress of intensive travel and unfamiliar physicians. My goal is to ensure you know Wilson Medical Center is just around the corner, with the best technology, the best medical team, but most importantly – the best, most compassionate care offered in Southeast Kansas. Because you deserve the best.

Wilson Medical Center is committed to bringing you the greatest quality of life possible, without the need to travel hundreds of miles. We are here, close to home, ready to care for you and your loved ones with passion, attention, and expertise. We look forward to being the destination for all of your primary care and healthcare needs. Your health is our top priority!
