October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month. We're proud that Dr. Brian Kroll has brought advanced point-of-care ultrasound skills to our rural community. He explains it best: "Point of care ultrasound has been a valuable addition to the care we provide in our rural communities. It allows us to evaluate certain conditions more quickly and gives patients answers closer to home. Since completing my training, I've had more patients ask about diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound services because they know the expertise is available locally," said Dr. Kroll, family practice provider.We're grateful for having been a pilot site for this hands-on training through the Orion Initiative, helping expand access to specialized care close to home. If you'd like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Brian Kroll, call us at 608.647.6321. He is currently accepting new patients.#RuralHealthCare #OrionInitiative #UltrasoundAwarenessMonth ...

Staff Spotlight: Meet Jessica Shaw, Radiologic TechnologistBorn and raised in Richland Center, Jessica Shaw has spent the past 12 years caring for patients at The Richland Hospital and Clinics. As a mammography technologist, she loves serving her hometown and helping women feel comfortable and supported during their screening journey.Her message to anyone putting off a mammogram? "Don't be afraid. We're here to do the test with you, not to you. We'll guide you every step of the way." When we asked Jessica, "Who is your pink for," she answered, "My pink is for all the women who have faced breast cancer and those who may face it in the future. I want to be an advocate for women and encourage us to take care of ourselves, because so many of us spend our time caring for others first."Thank you, Jessica, for your dedication to our patients and community#BreastCancerAwareness #RuralHealthCare #CommunityMatters ...
