Greetings, physicians and healthcare leaders, and welcome to the latest issue of MD News Greater Kansas. Our cover feature provides a n in-depth look at the Via Christi St. Francis Comprehensive Stroke Center and the triage protocols it has enacted so that patients get the care they need in a time frame that produces outcomes comparable to those at the best centers nationwide. One of our special features is the inspiring story of Independence, Kansas, and how members of the com- munity are advocating for their health after the closure of Mercy Hospital in 2015. They have raised more than $1 million to build a new facility, which is scheduled to open this summer. Another feature highlights how Mako Robotic-Arm technology has provided physicians at the Kansas Spine'& Specialty Hospital new opportunities to improve recovery time and long-term success for patients undergoing joint-replacement procedures. A third feature spotlights the relatively new model of direct primary care, which enables physicians to run practices that provide a higher level of care than they were able to deliver within the traditional system.
