Meet the faces behind rural health care!
Our dedicated Missouri Highlands providers and staff go above and beyond every day to serve our rural communities. Their compassion and commitment are what make us strong.

"Growing up in a very small, one-stop-sign, rural community gives me such a unique perspective in healthcare. I feel right at home working in the rural community of Doniphan. Where our patients become family, and are the friendly faces of healthcare. We are Doniphan Urgent Care. We are RURAL HEALTH CARE."

"Su***de rates are significantly higher in rural areas. As a counselor, rural healthcare means breaking down barriers of distance and stigma so people can access care that feels safe, genuine, and offered by someone who understands where they come from." - Casey Wheeler, P-LPC

It's about making our patients our priority." - Amy Manning, DNP, APRN, FNP-C
