The DeBakey Heart Institute at HaysMed announces Dr. Kent Gleed's retirement, effective Oct. 31, 2024.
"During his tenure, Dr. Gleed provided complex cardiology services to his patients and provided the region with care only found in larger cities. HaysMed extends its heartfelt thanks for his years of service and dedication and wishes him the best in his retirement," a HaysMed press release said.
HaysMed also introduced Dr. Jacob Morgan, who joined the DeBakey Heart Institute in September. As a board-certified cardiologist specializing in electrophysiology, Morgan manages heart rhythm disorders and complex cardiac conditions.
Morgan expressed his enthusiasm about joining HaysMed, stating, "In the two months that I've been at HaysMed, I've witnessed firsthand the hard work and passion of our entire HaysMed team— from nurses and clinic staff to billing—everyone works together for the betterment of Hays and our broader health care community. Having always called Western Kansas home, I am thrilled to contribute to the success of the DeBakey Heart Institute."
Originally from Stockton, Morgan graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City, completing his postgraduate training in electrophysiology at Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
"His dedication to patient care and his expertise are key to supporting HaysMed's mission of delivering superior healthcare and ensuring access to advanced treatments for all its patients," a HaysMed news release said.
HaysMed provides a team of cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons, with the DeBakey Heart Institute team as the sole provider of this advanced service in rural western Kansas.
