Horton Community Hospital Starts Second Decade Of Telemedicine & Telehealth Services

Location: Horton, Kansas
Outreach Dept: Telemedicine & Telehealth
Program: Telemedicine & Telehealth

Horton Community Hospital in Horton, KS, recently completed a full decade of partnership with KUCTT in offering a vital range of available telemedicine and telehealth services. Located almost due north of Topeka and just east of the Kickapoo Indian reservation, Horton’s rural location makes it a major provider of vital health resources for the entire northeast region of Kansas.

Since 1997, a full team of Horton Community Hospital professionals, including nurses, administrative personnel and technical support staff, have worked closely with Kansas University Medical Center physicians to provide much-needed clinical services – including programs like Cardiology, Oncology, Dermatology, and Diet & Nutrition.

Even today, over a decade later, this team continues to “lead the way” - providing telemedicine and on-site services that might not otherwise be available to rural parts of northeast Kansas.
