A new position at Central Kansas Medical Center was designed as a vehicle to help spread the word about the wide variety of services it offers throughout Barton and nearby counties, said Keith Herl, who is filling this physician liaison role. "CKMC is always evaluating new ways to make life easier for patients and their families, not only in Great Bend but all around central Kansas," Herl said. "This new position reflects our commitment to working personally with physicians, and other healthcare providers and facilities to do just that."
