There was a major milestone accomplishment Tuesday in Junction City when the ribbon was cut for the Stormont Vail Health - Flinthills Campus.
Dr. Rob Kenagy, Stormont Vail CEO, told a large audience at the campus ( formerly Geary Community Hospital ), that the hospital and clinic will be successful because the confidence of the community had been regained.
Trish Giordano, Geary Commissioner, worked hard to help save a hospital in Junction City. She called it the most challenging thing she had ever done. "It was just very challenging to get everybody on the same page, figure out what direction we were going to go and if there were any entity out there that wanted to take GCH over."
Giordano thought many people had passion for the community, "and knew the benefits of having great healthcare here."
Keith Ascher, Geary County Commissioner, urged the community to support the hospital.
