It was announced during
the Flint Hills Community
Health Center’s monthly
Board of Directors meeting
that the billing office for
the health center is returning. This change will lead
to job growth at the health
center.
In March of 2015, the
health center outsourced
billing services to a company on the east coast. Originally, the health center
anticipated this decision
would lead to increased efficiency and some cost savings. Unfortunately, that
was not the case. Patients
were not receiving services
that were consistent with
the standards of the health
center.
Due to those concerns,
Jacque Ambrose, communications manager with the
health center, said that billing office will be returning
to Emporia.
“We’ve decided to bring
the billing office back so
our patients can receive
the service they need and
deserve,” Ambrose said.
“This will also allow us to
create jobs at our Emporia
location, so this is a huge
benefit to our community.”
The board approved appointments to the board at
the meeting. Board members expressed their thanks
to those that continue to
be willing to serve on the
board and give their time
to benefit the health center
and the patients served. Additional board members are
still needed.
“We are recruiting more
board members, especially
those who are patients of
the health center,” Ambrose said. “Anyone interested can visit www.flinthillshealth.org to learn
more.”
There are a number of
upcoming events for the
health center during the
month of April.
✦✦The health center is
partnering with Newman Regional Health
and other area organizations for the Teddy Bear
Clinic from 9:30 a.m.
until 1 p.m. on April 2 at

✦✦A chronic disease selfmanagement class is
scheduled to begin on
April 14 in Eureka.
