Check out the Kansas Center for Rural Health’s Spring 2026 Newsletter highlighting our very own Dr. Celeste Rains and her family’s journey with local oncology care.

The article, “Care Close to Home: Strengthening Rural Lives Through Local Oncology Services,” tells of how receiving cancer treatment right here in Oakley made all the difference for the Rains family—and how local oncology services continue to support families across western Kansas.

There’s something special about receiving care close to home.

At Logan County Health Services, health care isn’t just about appointments and procedures, it’s about people. It’s about caring for neighbors, friends, and generations of families who trust us with what matters most.
We are proud to provide comprehensive care right here in Oakley, from emergency services and surgery to imaging, specialty clinics, wellness programs, and more. But what truly sets us apart is the compassion, familiarity, and commitment our team brings every single day.
And now, we’re preparing for an exciting new chapter. Construction on our new facility will begin next month, a step forward that reflects our promise to continue growing, improving, and investing in the future of health care in Northwest Kansas. We look forward to continuing to provide quality care close to home, and to growing alongside the community we are honored to serve.

Because this isn’t just where we work, it’s our family, our friends, and our home. And around here, we’re one big family. ❤️

Logan County Health Services is excited to announce; the first phase of the long-anticipated building project will begin the week of March 2nd. This phase will include moving utilities and dirt work and will likely last through the summer.

Parking for patients and visitors should experience little impact. Parking in front of the hospital and the Wellness Center will continue to be reserved for patients and visitors. Parking for New Frontiers and the Health Department will also remain, but access to and from that parking lot will only be from the north (3rd Street). The west entry (Maple Ave.) will be blocked.

For updates and information, throughout the building project, please refer to www.logancountyhospital.org, posts on Facebook and Instagram, or call Logan County Hospital at 785-672-3211 with any questions.

🌟 Another Inspiring Career Day at LCHS! 🌟

LCHS was proud to once again host the Kansas Virtual Health Care Career Day, welcoming nine Oakley High School students for a morning filled with real‑world insight into healthcare careers. Students tuned in to sessions covering pediatrics, laboratory science, radiology, social services, EMT/paramedicine, and sports medicine — all designed to help them explore the many pathways available in the healthcare field.

In the afternoon, students toured our facility, met LCHS staff, and had the chance to ask questions about their fields of interest. It was a great opportunity for meaningful conversations about future careers.

A huge thank‑you to the presenters — Kansas Hospital Association, the Kansas Board of Regents, and the Kansas State Department of Education — for supporting this event and helping us inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals.

We love being part of these students’ journeys — and we can’t wait to see where their futures lead.

We’re grateful for dedicated providers like Dr. Robert Rodriguez who bring specialized oncology care close to home.

Thank you Western Kansas Oncology Group for serving our communities!

For Dr. Robert Rodriguez, who lost his father and two grandparents to cancer, being able to help friends and family in Goodland was the big reason he became an oncologist.

“It’s something I’m very, very passionate about,” he said. “This is my home. I want to be able to help the people who helped me get to where I am. I feel a very serious and earnest calling to take care of them.”

Since May 2025, Rodriguez and Amanda Volchko, physician assistant, have had their own practice called the Western Kansas Oncology Group. They travel between hospitals in Tribune, Goodland, Oakley and Scott City seeing patients.

Rodriguez is pictured here with Goodland resident Rollie Hallagin, who credits Rodriguez with saving his life.
