The Coffeyville Regional Medical Center Auxiliary championed a project to bring new wheelchairs to the front lobby of CRMC for patient transportation. Auxiliary doubled the availability of wheelchairs at the west entrance with their latest purchase of six Staxi wheelchairs. Auxiliary can often be seen in their red vests pushing patients from one department to the next in their bright red chairs.

A General Fund grant through the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas helped support the Auxiliary’s wheelchair project. The CRMC Foundation and the CRMC Auxiliary split the remainder of the cost of this project.

The CRMC Auxiliary support CRMC by volunteering their services and financially sponsoring a variety of projects in the facility. If you would like to know more about becoming a part of the Auxiliary, please contact Crystal Morris at 620.252.2294.

On Friday, September 30th, Coffeyville Regional Medical Center inducted Dr. Chan S. Han and Dr. Allen Gillis to the CRMC Hall of Fame. CRMC introduced the Hall of Fame to celebrate CRMC medical professionals who have made significant contributions and a lifetime of accomplishments in advancing healthcare in our region.

“We are extremely grateful and fortunate that these individuals made the decision many years ago to make Coffeyville their home,” said President and CEO Brian Lawrence.

This award recognizes the people who have made an outstanding, long-lasting contribution to healthcare in our community. CRMC Hall of Famers include healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses, administrators, board members, and advocates who have had an impact on our community. Hall of Fame bronze plaques line both walls in the hallway leading to the surgery department at CRMC.

“Associates, physicians, volunteers, patients, and visitors are often seen taking a moment to stop in the hallway and read the names of those Hall of Famers who have been honored,” said Lawrence. “These leaders have had an amazing, lasting impact on our communities and our hospital. We could not have selected two more deserving of this honor to add than Dr. Han and Dr. Gillis.”
