ABILENE - Memorial Health System (MHS) is proud to announce the official designation of the Salina Regional Health Center Outreach Clinic, now located on the second floor of Memorial Hospital in Abilene.
The designated clinic location provides a centralized, convenient space for visiting specialists from Salina Regional Health Center.
Patients have already begun seeing Salina Regional general surgeons Jesse Grey, M.D., Leah Speaks, M.D., and Justin Klaassen, D.O., in the new clinic. This month, obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) services with Emily Budden, M.D., and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) care with Melissa Crawford, PA, also will see patients in the new location.
In October, oncology and hematology specialists, Jeffrey Geitz, M.D., Peeran Sandhu, M.D., and endocrinologist Richard Gomendoza, M.D. also will join the clinic. More specialty services are anticipated to transition into the new clinic in the future.
Salina Regional Health Center’s goal is to improve access to care for patients close to home. Since affiliating with SRHC, MHS has welcomed a growing number of visiting specialists to Abilene, which has resulted in more procedures and follow-up care being done locally. This not only benefits patients and families, but also strengthens the entire community by keeping high-quality care accessible.
“Having a wide range of specialists visit Abilene is incredibly important for patients,” said Kim Haverly, MHS Administrator. “When patients can receive the services they need without traveling long distances, it’s better for their health, their families and their employers. It reduces time away from
work, limits stress and helps ensure that our most vulnerable populations have access to the care they need, close to home.”
