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.

Congratulations to Deb, a cook at Anderson County Hospital, for being honored with the Saint Luke's Hope Award!

Each year the Saint Luke's Hope Award recognizes team members who exemplify the qualities of spirituality, integrity, and compassion in what they do and who they are. Deb was among the 25 employees across Saint Luke's to be honored with a 2025 Hope Award during a celebration held at Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kansas City.

“Deb is dependable. Every day she comes to work with a smile," Deb's nominator said. "She is giving and willing to help others. 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. Deb, thank you is not enough for all you have done for our patients and their families—giving them hope is a priceless gift!”

We're proud of you, Deb! 💙

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! 💙

Dennis is a lead maintenance engineer who has been at Anderson County Hospital in Garnett, Kansas, for 26 years. He sought a challenging job in the community where he grew up, and ACH provided the perfect answer. Dennis is among the excellent Saint Luke’s team we’re recognizing during National Health Care Facilities and Engineering Week.

“Challenging is an understatement,” Dennis says. “My favorite part is helping people, but also diagnosing issues and problem solving. There are a lot of things to do beside fixing things. Everything is always changing, and with that comes new challenges and opportunities to learn. There is never a dull moment.”

National Health Care Facilities and Engineering Week honors and celebrates the skilled professionals who keep our hospitals running smoothly behind the scenes. The Saint Luke’s team of close to 100 covers a broad scope of work across each campus for a great patient, employee, and visitor experience. This can include plumbing, lights, painting, heating, and cooling.

Dennis is essential in providing a safe and comfortable environment for staff and patients. We’re proud to have Dennis on our team. Thank you for all that you do!
