Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers — and screening saves lives.
When detected early, treatment is more effective. In many cases, screening can even prevent cancer by finding and removing precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer.
If you’re 45 or older — or have a family history — talk with your Community HealthCare System provider about getting screened. Don’t wait for symptoms.
Call your local CHCS clinic today to schedule your screening. –

Your health matters. Early detection makes all the difference.

Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness make the biggest impact.

On February 16, around 10 p.m., a patient was transported by ambulance from Frankfort to our Onaga hospital. After receiving care and being cleared for discharge around midnight, the patient was unable to reach a friend for a ride home.

One of our nurses contacted her friend’s daughter, and her son, Jaron Thomas stepped in without hesitation. After already working a 12-hour shift, Jaron arrived at the emergency room around 1 a.m., helped the nurse get the patient safely into his car, and drove the 30 miles one way to make sure they arrived home safely.

The two had only met briefly once before, yet Jaron gladly volunteered to help a virtual stranger—and even refused gas money, simply saying, “I am glad to do it.”
This act of kindness went far beyond what anyone would expect and is a wonderful reminder of the compassion and generosity that make our community so special.

Please join us in congratulating Jaron, our latest BEE (BE Excellent Every Day) Employee Recognition winner!

This week is National Patient Safety Awareness Week!

We proudly recognize the commitment our teams make every single day to provide safe, high-quality care for our patients and one another.

At Community HealthCare System, safety isn’t just a priority — it’s part of who we are. Our continued recognition through OSHA’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) reflects that commitment. Earning SHARP certification for 22 consecutive years means we don’t just meet safety standards — we work hard to exceed them.
A strong culture of safety protects our staff, strengthens teamwork, and ultimately leads to better care and better outcomes for our patients.

Thank you to every CHCS associate who stays vigilant, speaks up, and makes safety part of their daily routine. Because of you, our patients can trust they’re in safe hands.

“Don’t wait. Just go get it done.”

One of our patients recently shared her story: After waiting too long for a colonoscopy, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. Thankfully, Dr. Weiser was able to remove it completely during the procedure, and she will not need additional treatment.

Her message to others is simple: Colonoscopies save lives. Don’t wait—schedule yours today.
