We had an out-of-this-world time at this year's Moonlight Madness in downtown Larned! 🌙

A big thank you to our providers, Dr. Reimer, Susan Aistrup, Lacy Bowman, and medical student Alex Arntt, for representing PVCH and spending the evening with our community. We loved seeing so many familiar faces!

We also gave away four all-access passes to the Cosmosphere. Congratulations to John Greathouse, our lucky winner! 🚀

There are many reasons patients choose PVCH, and experiences like this are one of them! We're proud to share this recent patient comment about Lacy Bowman, APRN:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I appreciate Lacy taking the time to research the best options for my care. She discusses things clearly and never makes me feel rushed. She listens to my concerns, explains my options, and helps me make informed decisions about my health. I truly appreciate those qualities in a provider."

Thank you, Lacy, for the thoughtful care you provide and for taking the time to help patients feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their healthcare decisions. We're grateful to have you serving our patients and community! 💙

The PVCH Auxiliary gathered this morning to kick off its new year with a delicious breakfast sponsored by Kim Barnes. Thank you, Kim, for your continued generosity and support!

It was a full house of special ladies as members came together for a full agenda of updates, conversation, and planning. Melanie Urban, PVCH Administrator, provided a hospital update, and members also discussed the upcoming PVCH Foundation Annual Gala, Auxiliary officer nominations, gift shop updates, plans for the annual craft fair, and much more.

We are so grateful for this amazing group of volunteers who give their time and talents to support our patients, visitors, and Associates. Thank you for all you do, and here's to another great year ahead! 💙

Every day, our patients trust us with some of life's most important moments, and many take the time after their appointments to complete a survey and share their experience. We read those comments, and every now and then, one comes across our desk that deserves a little extra recognition!

We're excited to kick off our new Every Reason to Choose Pawnee Valley series by sharing this patient comment about Marley Palmer, DNP, APRN:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I could not ask for a more attentive, knowledgeable and caring provider. Marley listens and takes time to make sure she understands my situation. If she is not sure, she doesn't hesitate to send you onto a specialist or make some phone calls or do some research. Your clinic is fortunate to have a provider like her."

Thank you, Marley, for all you do for your patients and our community!

✅ School supplies ✅ New shoes ✅ Class schedules

Don't forget one of the most important items on your back-to-school checklist: your child's annual wellness visit!

These visits help ensure children are healthy, growing well, up to date on immunizations, and ready for a successful school year. They're also a convenient time to complete sports physicals and discuss any health concerns before classes begin.
