Bluestem Health is a federally qualified health center (FQHC), which is a federal designation from the Bureau of Primary Health Care. FQHCs are either located in, or serve, a federally designated medically underserved area/population. All FQHCs must operate under a consumer Board of Directors governance structure, and provide comprehensive primary health care, dental, and mental health/substance abuse services to persons in all stages of the life cycle. FQHCs provide their services to all persons according to their ability to pay. There are over 1,400 Community Health Centers across the country that provide vital primary care to over 18 million Americans with limited financial resources. In 2019, Bluestem Health saw nearly 20,000 individual patients and serves as a “medical home” to its patients. The definition of a medical home is the coordination of care from care plans to appointments with specialists. The patient receives consistent care from birth through old age. The medical home serves as a guide to community support services from education to transportation.

A familiar last name, a new face—Colin Grandgenett, PA-C, is now seeing patients at the Kreshel Clinic.

Colin’s dad, John Grandgenett, APRN-NP, has been part of the Kreshel team for more than 20 years, and Colin grew up visiting the clinic. “Starting my career here really feels like coming home,” he says.

Colin believes that health is a give and take, and he enjoys helping patients make small, meaningful changes that keep their bodies functioning at a higher level. He also collaborates closely with our team of providers, nutritionists, and educators.

It’s National Dental Hygiene Month, and we’re celebrating Megan Overfield, RDH!

Megan brings both skill and humor to every appointment. One of her favorite pieces of advice? “You don’t have to brush all your teeth—just the ones you want to keep.”

Thanks for keeping our patients smiling and their teeth shining every day.

With candy bowls coming out and costumes ready, it’s a great time to give your smile some extra care.

Here are a few simple tips to maintain strong dental habits:
• Brush twice a day and floss once daily. Consistency matters for dental hygiene.
• Rinse with water after indulging in sweet treats.
• Drink plenty of water to wash away sugars and reduce dry mouth
• Make time for a dental check-up and cleaning if it’s been a while.

A little care today keeps your smile confident tomorrow.
