Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System’s Post

My life has been interrupted lately by medical needs, and I just got off the phone with the lovely person doing surgery intake for my upcoming procedure. I feel new calm and confidence about the journey ahead of me because they were competent, thorough, so deeply kind, so warmly human. It was the care I got during and following my quite traumatic surgery a few years ago that made me want to work at Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System. It was my first significant medical procedure, and I was scared spitless. The calm I felt while lying on the cold surgery table because I’d been connected with as a person in every interaction, informed of everything they were about to do, and ensured even moments before starting anesthesia that I still felt good about going through with this… it was life-changing. When I started my career at HRMC, I had no idea I’d be a frequent flyer as a patient in the next few years, but every single time I am back in the tunnel of pain pre-surgery and healing up post-, I am grateful beyond words for the level of care this amazing team of people offers our community on some of the most vulnerable days of their lives. Being on the receiving end of care makes me more proud than ever to make my career here and support the vital work of healthcare in central Kansas.
