 </figure>(JUNCTION CITY, Kan. March 23, 2024) – Stormont Vail Health has welcomed emergency physician Dr. Rebecca Weller to the Flint Hills Campus Emergency Department, in Junction City. As a board-certified specialist with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Weller provides emergency care for patients requiring immediate medical attention for trauma, sepsis, burns, strokes, and other acute illnesses and injuries."The one thing I really want people to know is I have a lot of experience in emergency medicine," Dr. Weller said. "My patients get someone who knows how to do the procedures they need and has the experience. I've seen a lot of things, taken care of a lot of things, and care about the community, the hospital, and the particular patient and their medical problems."Dr. Weller's decision to become a physician was as practical as her approach to medicine. As a freshman in high school, her advanced placement biology class took a field trip to the anatomy lab at K-State. While this experience piqued her interest, she realized that she was the only student in the class with an appetite for lunch afterward, which solidified her decision to enter the medical field.With her focus on physicianship, Dr. Weller sought her medical degree at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kansas, intending to become a forensic pathologist. However, after several emergency medicine-related rotations sparked her interest, she changed her path. She completed her emergency medicine residency at the University Health Truman Medical Center (UHTMC)/University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine..Although the patients and conditions she cares for differ daily (or even every hour), Dr. Weller's approach remains the same. By focusing on active listening, respectful communication, and empathy, she strives to build rapport with patients during their most challenging moments, facilitating an effective recovery.MollyPatt EyestoneCommunications Supervisor - Stormont Vail Health
