First Care Clinic, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Hess Clinic.

Dr. Katrina Hess will be retiring on July 15, and we would like to thank her for the dedicated service she has provided to her patients for the last 25 years.

“First Care Clinic and its staff of seven providers, led by Medical Director Dr. Christine Fisher, look forward to serving the current Hess Clinic patients and providing them with high quality health care services.

Patients will enjoy the flexibility of being seen at the location that suits them best, either 105 W. 13th St. or 1923 E 22nd St.,” said Bryan Brady, CEO of First Care Clinic.

“I am happy to announce that many of my current staff will be making the transition to First Care Clinic, including Nikki Cherryholmes, APRN. This should allow for minimal interruptions in patient care. Even though the clinic on 22nd Street will change names, First Care Clinic will continue to provide the quality patient care that my patients deserve,” Hess said.

“Patients seen at the Hess Clinic during the last three years will be receiving a letter in the mail with more details. If patients have a scheduled appointment with the Hess Clinic, it will be transferred to First Care Clinic and our staff will be reaching out to confirm the time and location, as well as answer any questions they may have. If patients need to make an appointment after July 15, they can call us at 785-621-4990 to schedule,” said Danielle Windholz, operations manager at First Care Clinic.

First Care Clinic accepts all major insurances, and services are provided on a sliding fee scale for those who qualify. First Care Clinic is actively accepting new patients.

First Care Clinic is a federally funded community health center, providing non-emergency medical services for people of all ages, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. It houses general medical care, mental health services and general dentistry, all under one roof.
