Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Charles G. Stephens

"Although I did not have the pleasure of working with Dr. Stephens for a long time, I did spend time visiting with him after retirement. He was so very welcoming to me and my family and periodically would check in to make sure we were adapting and doing okay. Dr. Stephens would talk at length about Minneola District Hospital and how important it was for the hospital to do everything it could to ensure care would continue to be provided locally well into the future. When MHC embarked on its remodeling and new build project, the “tear down” of Docs clinic had to part of that conversation and decision-making. I must admit I was apprehensive approaching him to have that conversation as the clinic was Doc’s clinic. Dr. Stephens was an enthusiastic yes, stating “whatever you need to do, do.” He was so excited for this project to take place. He very much enjoyed watching the change happen and was thrilled when he was able to see inside the new spaces.

Dr. Stephens was a man of deep faith. He gave God all the glory for his success and the success of MDH/MHC. It has been and will continue to be our responsibility to ensure MHC is here well into the future to care for the citizens of Minneola and our surrounding communities and continuing with the legacy Dr. Stephens has left behind."

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Charles G. Stephens

In 1959, Dr. Charles G. Stephens loaded all his family’s belongings into the back of a borrowed wheat truck and moved his wife and two children to Minneola, Kansas. He had been hired by Dr. Richardson to serve as a physician at the Minneola Clinic—built by the city in 1950—and at the Minneola District Hospital, which had opened its doors just a few years earlier in 1955.

A year later, Dr. Stephens purchased the Minneola Clinic and entered solo practice when Dr. Richardson moved away. While in Minneola, he and his wife, Javene, raised four sons and built a lasting connection to this community.

Dr. Stephens dedicated his life to caring for others and mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals. He worked closely with medical students and family practice residents from the Wesley Medical Center Family Practice Residency in Wichita, where his brother, Dr. Gayle Stephens, served as director. His leadership and vision were instrumental in the creation of the Minneola Long Term Care unit, which opened in 1976.

He later expanded his impact by opening the Fowler Community Clinic in 1995, staffed by Nurse Practitioner Margaret Bartel and his son, Dr. Marc Stephens. In 1988, Tony Luna joined the practice, later opening the Bucklin Clinic in 1989. Dr. Stephens sold the Minneola Clinic to the Minneola District Hospital in 1999 but continued to serve part-time, later working alongside his son, Dr. Todd Stephens, who joined the practice from 2000 to 2005. Together, they also helped staff the Ashland Health Clinic.

After more than 55 years of dedicated service to Minneola and the surrounding communities, Dr. Stephens retired in 2014. His compassion, integrity, and leadership left a permanent mark on the organization and the people he served.

Minneola Healthcare would not be what it is today without Dr. Stephens’ vision, commitment, and decades of service. We honor his memory with deep gratitude and appreciation for a lifetime devoted to caring for others. His legacy continues to guide and inspire us every day.

Medicare Open Enrollment is almost here!

Not all plans are the same — before you make changes, double-check that your providers and hospital are in-network.

Minneola Healthcare wants patients to be aware that we do not participate in Medicare Advantage plans. These plans often limit coverage and can make it harder for patients to receive timely care.

Stay informed, stay covered, and make the best choice for your healthcare needs.
