Chamber's Website.

DECEMBER BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
OLATHE HEALTH FAMILY MEDICINE OF OSAWATOMIE
Olathe Health Family Medicine has been providing quality medical care to the Osawatomie area for more than 30 years.
Their doctors, Dr. Jonathan Newkirk, Dr. Brian Cooke, Dr. Sara Cobine and their newest addition, Katie Brand PAC, have all remained dedicated to their patients for many years.
They are blessed to have an amazing clinical staff of nurses, lab techs, x-ray techs, and patient service representatives who have also been with them for a number of years. They enjoy the small town atmosphere, and knowing the patients on a personal level... maybe your kids have been playing on the same sports teams as theirs, or maybe you have been on the same committees as them for community events.
They continue to expand their services with Walk In Services now available in all of their five clinics in Miami and Linn county. Their goal and top priority is to continue to provide quality, compassionate care to all of their current and future patients.
Olathe Health Family Medicine of Osawatomie invites you to join them for a chamber coffee on Tuesday, December 10th at 10:00 a.m at their freshly re-modeled facility here in Osawatomie. They would like to introduce you to their newest provider Katie Brand, PA-C. Katie joined their practice in June of this year and is excited to be a part of the Olathe Health Group providing compassionate care to our communities.
In addition to meeting Katie, they would like to show off some of the recent upgrades they have made to their clinic to enhance their patients’ experience and to inform you of their future plans to continue to provide excellent patient care within our community and nearby communities. They have been providing quality medical care to the Osawatomie area for more than 30 years and they look forward to the next 30 years and more.
Special For the Month:
Olathe Health Family Medicine - Osawatomie will be hosting a coffee on Tuesday, December 10th at 10:00 a.m. at their freshly re-modeled facility here in Osawtomie.

It's ALMOST time for the 2020 C
Did you know if 1 person is missed in your community in the 2020 Census, there is a potential financial loss to your community of $2,082? In Kansas, the average household is 2.5 residents. If one “average” household is missed, that can cost a community $5,205 per year. Then, consider that a census won’t occur for another 10 years – that’s $52,050 in lost resources your community relies on! The Census is important and that’s why we need you to get your city, county, and community involved!
