These caring individuals continue to demonstrate their passion for making this an outstanding place to receive medical care. It has become apparent that the staff at Sabetha Community Hospital will not settle for mediocrity. I am honored to work with such talented and dedicated people that continue to go the extra mile while caring for anyone needing healthcare. Awards such as this serve as affirmation that our team has overcome many of the challenges that we have faced. It has also been apparent that our staff is not satisfied and will always look for ways to improve experiences, and outcomes, for the citizens of Northeast Kansas, said Dr. James Longabaugh, CEO.
