Kansas Hospital Association
It is with pleasure that the Kansas Hospital Association (KHA) recognizes hospital trustees who provide an exemplary contribution through their leadership and governance. Hospitals across the state nominated individuals for the Trustee of the Year Award, because they routinely go above and beyond the call of duty.
Seven trustees from hospitals and health systems across Kansas were nominated as Trustees of the Year:
- Marciel Cloud, Satanta District Hospital, Satanta
- Kris Enneking, Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, Seneca
- Lon R. Frahm, Citizens Health, Colby
- Phil Gilliland, North Central Kansas Medical Center, Concordia and Salina Regional Health Center, Salina
- Merl Page, Wamego Health Center, Wamego
- Jim Parker, Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation, Inc., Kiowa
- Mike Williams, Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Wichita
Based on the recommendation from a committee of KHA member CEOs and hospital trustees, the KHA Board of Directors selected Phil Gilliland, North Central Kansas Medical Center, Concordia and Salina Regional Health Center, Salina, as the 2025 Trustee of the Year.
He was recognized during the KHA Awards Ceremony on Friday, September 5. The Cloud County Foundation for Health Care will receive a $500 donation in his honor.
