Business Connections for Winter 2022

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT 4 Winter 2022 It’s committed to connecting Northeast Kansas communities to local healthcare The history of Amberwell Health is one of impressive growth—in the number and size of its facilities, in its ability to serve rural communities in Northeast Kansas, and in the use of technology to enhance patient care. Quality from the Start Amberwell Health grew fromNortheast Kansas roots, when the Atchison Hospital rebranded in 2020. The single hospital has now grown into seven locations in six Kansas communities, with the majority of the expansion occurring even in the midst of a global pandemic. Amberwell is clearly committed to strengthening local healthcare for Northeast Kansas communities. Over the past two years, Amberwell opened a new clinic in Leavenworth, opened a fully remodeled clinic in Horton, and purchased and remodeled a primary care clinic in Atchison. In March 2021, Hiawatha Community Hospital affiliated with Amberwell Health. The affiliation of the two Critical Access Hospitals helps maximize each organization’s ability to invest in providing more care and services as well as invest in people, equipment, and facilities, through economies of scale and sharing of resources. Locations and Services to Meet Local Needs Amberwell Health now includes two complete care locations, Amberwell Atchison and Amberwell Hiawatha, and five clinic locations in Atchison, Highland, Horton, Leavenworth, and Troy.
