(KNZA)--Community HealthCare System (CHCS) Thursday unveiled its Holton Campus Master Facility Plan: “Designing the Future of Care.”

The plan represents more than just construction or renovation—it- a forward-thinking blueprint for how CHCS will continue to meet the evolving healthcare needs of patients, families, and team members for generations to come. Guided by community input, data-driven planning, and the organization's mission to provide high-quality, patient-centered care, the plan outlines a series of strategic projects designed to modernize, expand, and enhance CHCS facilities across all service areas.

Building for the Future

Healthcare continues to change rapidly, and CHCS is preparing to meet those challenges head-on. The Master Facility Plan establishes a foundation for projects that will strengthen access to care, improve efficiency, and create modern, healing environments designed to enhance both the patient and employee experience.

Planned improvements include expanded clinical and specialty areas, upgraded technology, and flexible spaces that can adapt to future innovations in healthcare delivery. Each step forward represents an investment in the people who depend on CHCS every day—and in the dedicated professionals who make exceptional care possible.

A Commitment to Our Communities

“Our commitment to the communities we serve has always guided our decisions,” said CHCS CEO, John Fitzthum. “This plan reflects the input of our patients, staff, and community members. It's designed to ensure that compassionate, high-quality care remains close to home for generations to come.”

Fitzthum also noted that the Master Facility Plan is not sales tax-funded. The projects will be financed through CHCS's own resources, responsible financial planning, and ongoing community support. “We’re proud that these investments will strengthen local healthcare without placing an additional burden on taxpayers,” Fitzthum added.

From Vision to Reality

The unveiling of the Master Facility Plan marks an important milestone for the organization and the community it serves. As CHCS moves from vision to reality, updates will be shared to keep community members informed and engaged throughout the process.

Together, CHCS and the Holton community are designing the future of care—building on a proud legacy, embracing innovation, and creating spaces where exceptional care will thrive for generations to come.
