Congratulations to Deb, a nurse in the Med/Surg Department at Anderson County Hospital, our newest DAISY Award recipient! 🌼

Deb is known for her patience, kindness, and compassionate approach to care. She treats every patient with respect and empathy, while also being a supportive and dependable coworker. She’s always willing to step in, help others, and take the time to teach when needed.

One moment that truly stood out was Deb’s care for a patient who hadn’t been able to leave their room for several days. She took the time to bring the patient outside to sit on a bench in front of the hospital, offering a change of scenery that noticeably lifted the patient’s spirits.

Anderson County Hospital is incredibly fortunate to have Deb on our team. Her dedication to compassionate patient care makes a meaningful difference every day. 💙

Congratulations to Dr. Bret Gordon, gynecologist with Saint Luke’s Women’s Health South, for earning his certification from The Menopause Society.

This certification recognizes Dr. Gordon’s expertise in menopause and perimenopause care, enabling him to better support patients in understanding and managing the changes associated with these stages of life.

“There isn’t a set age range for perimenopause,” Dr. Gordon shares. “Some women breeze through with few symptoms, while others experience significant changes—weight fluctuations, sleep issues, mood swings, brain fog, or menstrual irregularities.”

These physical and emotional changes can be confusing and disruptive, leaving many women unsure of what’s happening to their bodies. Dr. Gordon encourages open communication with providers, emphasizing that this is not a disease, but a natural transition that can still be challenging.

“Patients shouldn’t settle,” Dr. Gordon explained. “Just because something’s normal, doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.”

Dr. Gordon’s biggest takeaway: Perimenopause is deeply personal, and compassionate, individualized care—paired with open communication—can help women navigate it with confidence and comfort.

Dr. Gordon sees patients in the Specialty Clinic at Anderson County Hospital. To schedule an appointment, call 785-204-8002.

Lung cancer is the top cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., yet a majority of eligible patients don't get screened.

Dr. Timothy Saettele, a Saint Luke’s interventional pulmonologist, appeared on Health News You Can Use to walk through who should get screened, low-dose CT scans, and next steps.

Low-dose CT scans, also called Lung CTs, are available at Saint Luke's Anderson County Hospital in Garnett and Allen County Regional Hospital in Iola. Ask your provider about a referral close to home.

You can count on Deb to always be there with a helping hand or a kind word. Her steadfastness and honesty have inspired us all.

Pat Patton, hospital administrator at Allen County Regional Hospital and Anderson County Hospital, believes personal relationships and shared values are what make living and working in rural America so rewarding. These values extend throughout the hospital and beyond.

“Being close to the staff and patients as both colleagues and neighbors is what’s special about working for rural hospitals like ours,” Pat said. “We know it promptly when folks are happy with the care they received, and also when there are opportunities to improve, and we can have conversations and resolve challenges in a better way because we are neighbors."

Pat enjoys getting acquainted with people and building relationships through his involvement in local groups and committees, and through everyday interactions out in the community.

“Our patients are more than just a number,” Pat said. “I think it is only natural that the closer you are to the folks you live around, the more you simply must care about them.”

We are grateful to Pat and all rural health care workers who make a lasting difference in the communities they proudly serve! 💙

Tina, associate chief nursing officer at Allen County Regional Hospital and Anderson County Hospital, cherishes the rural communities she serves. She is proud of the work she does and the relationships she’s able to build with team members and patients along the way.

“Rural hospitals are unique in that we must be very team-focused, but also self-reliant and resourceful,” Tina said. “Every piece of the puzzle must perform efficiently and with purpose to be successful.”

Knowing that her hospitals in Iola and Garnett are essential to the success of both communities motivates Tina each and every day.

"As health care professionals, we have a great opportunity to make an impact on the health and well-being of our communities," Tina said. "That impact is seen throughout our communities in the relationships we develop with our patients and through the services we provide that keep our patients close to home."

Today, we celebrate Tina and all those working for the success of Saint Luke's two rural hospitals in Kansas! 💙
