When you’re fortunate to work alongside an incredible community supporter like Ray's Pharmacy & Q-Value, you truly see the difference teamwork makes.

These past few weeks have been incredibly busy with so much sickness in our community, and through it all, we’ve been in constant sync. We understand each other’s workflow, the urgency our patients are facing, and the importance of clear communication.

We know they are here for us and more importantly, for our patients. Their support, responsiveness, and dedication help ensure our community continues to receive the care it needs.

And today, they reminded us just how well they know us. Such a sweet gesture (literally!) that brightened our day because they obviously know we need a little sugar to survive these busy weeks.

We are so grateful for community allies like Ray’s Pharmacy who stand beside us every day.

Dr. Anna enjoyed speaking with Gove County high school students about life as a physician in rural Kansas during their tour for Kansas Virtual Career Fair Day!

She shared insights about caring for patients in a rural community, the rewards and challenges of practicing medicine close to home, and the many pathways available to students interested in health care careers.

Students also had a great time looking through the baby pictures on display and a few even spotted themselves! We love seeing those full-circle moments in our community.

We love students!

Mia Briggs is a current senior at QHS and serves as our student intern through the Nex-Generation Student Internship Program. She will be heading to the University of Kansas next year to pursue pre-med, following in the footsteps of Annie Carlson, a fourth-year medical student.

The next generation of physicians looks bright!

We’re seeing numerous cases of Influenza in our community. Many people describe missing a full week of work or school, extreme fatigue, joint pain, headaches, high fevers, sore throat—and an overall feeling of being hit by a truck, especially if they have not had the flu vaccine.

To help prevent the spread:
• Wash your hands frequently
• Cover coughs and sneezes
• Stay home when you’re sick - yes it's hard to miss school, activites and work but it's the best decision for you and others!
• Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces
• Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated

Taking a few simple precautions can help protect you, your family, and our community.

Prior authorizations are frustrating for patients, time-consuming for care teams, and too often delay the care people need. In rural healthcare, those delays can be even more impactful when options are limited and access matters more than ever.

That’s why today, Dr. Doug is testifying on behalf of the Kansas Academy of Family Physicians before the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance, sharing how prior authorization requirements affect patients, physicians, and rural communities across Kansas.

In small towns, timely care isn’t a convenience, it’s essential. We’re proud to see Dr. Doug advocating for solutions that reduce unnecessary barriers and help keep care local, accessible, and patient-focused.

The gloomy weather outside can sometimes make things feel a little heavier on the inside, too. If today feels extra gray, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go through it alone.

There are resources and people who care and want to help when you’re feeling overwhelmed, helpless, or just not quite yourself. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you love needs support, help is available locally here at Bluestem and beyond. And if you ever need immediate support, you can call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, anytime.

Take care of yourselves and each other. Brighter days really do come.

Congratulations to Dr. Doug and Dr. Shelly on being nominated for the Student Voice Awards for their excellence in teaching!

While they didn’t take home the award this time, one of their former students did which is a true testament to the impact and excellence of their teaching.

Even more special, they had the joy of attending the event with their daughter Evie, who is currently in medical school. What a proud and meaningful moment for this amazing family!
