Salina Family Healthcare Center
Salina Family Healthcare Center (SFHC) is set to undergo a significant expansion following the February 3rd, 2026 passage of the Department of Health and Human Services’ budget.
The center has been awarded a congressionally directed spending request, thanks to advocacy efforts led by U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), which will provide crucial funds for expanding both their facility and patient care services.
The funding will enable Salina Family Healthcare Center to increase its capacity to serve the community, broaden the scope of patient care, and enhance its rurally-focused healthcare training programs. This expansion is expected to address growing local health needs and create new opportunities for aspiring healthcare professionals.
Dr. Robert Kraft, CEO of Salina Family Healthcare Center, expressed his gratitude for the support.
“We are extremely thankful for this congressional investment. It will allow us to better serve our patients and strengthen our commitment to training the next generation of healthcare providers.”
All SFHC service lines, including medical, dental, vision, behavioral health, and pharmacy services, will be housed under one roof in the new facility.
By integrating these services, SFHC aims to improve the patient experience through enhanced accessibility and seamless care coordination. This unified approach will foster stronger teamwork among staff and providers, ensuring comprehensive, whole-person care for every patient.
“Rural health care providers play a critical role in supporting and providing care to individuals in small towns across Kansas,” said Sen. Moran. “This investment will help expand the Salina Family Healthcare Center and increase the services they are able to provide to patients. I’m pleased to support this center and its team in their efforts to improve patient outcomes, invest in new medical capabilities and bolster care for rural communities in our state.”
With this new funding, SFHC is poised to continue its mission of improving health outcomes and fostering workforce development throughout the region.
The expanded center will be located at the former Kansas ONEGas and Evergy site, 1001 Edison Place off Ohio Street in Salina, KS.
The existing structure will be completely demolished to make way for a brand-new facility that will face Ohio Street and eventually carry a new address.
The anticipated ribbon-cutting ceremony and the start of patient care delivery remain on track for Fall 2027, marking an exciting new chapter for SFHC and the community it serves.
