Programs: Anderson county hospital has been designated by the state of kansas and medicare as a critical access hospital. All program service expenses were incurred in furtherance of our mission, which is to ensure high quality healthcare in a caring environment for the communities we serve. In 2016, there were 13,119 patient days, 17,585 rural health clinic visits, 3,367 emergency room visits, 27,612 outpatient visits and 986 ambulance calls. We provided un-insured or indigent area children with 196 vaccinations. As a voluntary, nonprofit, rural critical access hospital, saint luke's hospital of garnett is committed to serving all who seek our services regardless of their socioeconomic status. Though we have provided such care throughout our 66-year history, our commitment to those without adequate means to pay for their care has grown significantly in recent years. The hospital participates in the medicaid and medicare programs and has a financial assistance policy for assisting people without adequate means to pay for their care. The hospital also provides health related activities and services in support of the community including providing an annual breast cancer awareness campaign and clinic and community wide health, weight, first aid and cpr classes. In addition, we provide a health careers class at the high school and are a work study site for high school students interested in health related careers.
