The Wichita Eagle
Six small Kansas hospitals, including one in Wichita, were given five-star ratings in the community value index of the State of the Hospital Industry - 2010 edition, released recently by Cleverly & Associates.
The six are in the small, nonteaching category. The community value index compares areas that directly impact financial performance of health care facilities.
The Kansas hospitals that received the ranking are Galichia Heart Hospital in Wichita, South Central Kansas Regional Medical Center in Arkansas City, Sumner Regional Medical Center in Wellington, Via Christi Hospital in Pittsburg, Labette Health in Parsons and Morton County Hospital in Elkart.

U.S. 160 construction begins
The widening of U.S. 160 between the High School and Walmart has officially begun. Extension of storm drains that run beneath the highway will be performed first followed by the widening of the road. In conjunction, land developers will begin construction of Boundary Road to the south of the highway which will lead to the new McDonalds. The speed has been restricted to 45mph through the construction zone.
Community Meeting held
Approximately 60 people turned out for the Community Meeting held last night to discuss two major issues on the City's forefront. First, a presentation by J.P. Buellesfeld regarding reorganization of Wellington's government was heard followed by an open forum by attendees. J.P. is an expert on local politics and a former adjunct professor with Cowley County Community College teaching Local and State Government. Finally, a presentation by KDOT Representative Al Cathcart regarding Railroad Quiet Zones was followed by a lengthy discussion of options. Now that the Council has heard from citizens on these issues, they will continue future discussions on which direction to take.
