The American College of Radiology recommends women begin annual screening mammograms at age 40.

If you’re 40 or older, you can schedule your screening without a doctor’s order. It’s quick, local, and now available in our new 3D mammography room at Rice Community Hospital, with same week availability.

If it’s been on your list, consider this your reminder. Call 620-257-7176 to schedule today.

This year marks the 30th Annual Rice Community Healthcare Foundation Golf Tournament, presented by Imagine IT, Inc., and reflects something we know to be true about rural Kansas: when it matters, communities show up.

We are proud to recognize this year’s hole sponsors for helping make our 30th Annual Golf Tournament possible. Their support is more than a name on a sign. It is an investment in local healthcare, in the strength of our rural communities, and in the people who call central Kansas home.

Today, we’re glad to have Dawson Stover, son of our CEO George Stover, spending the day with our surgery and CRNA team.

He’s getting a firsthand look at the care, teamwork, and steady hands it takes behind the scenes. We always love the chance to open that door and share what health care looks like up close.

As Anessa Otto, RN, Surgery Manager, put it: “Great health care is not just delivered. It is passed on by people willing to teach, guide, and invest in the next set of hands.”
