Family practice team welcomes new advanced practice providers

For more than a decade, The University of Kansas Health System Pawnee Valley Campus has provided high-quality care of many types for patients of all ages. It continues to do so today and will for many years to come.

The family medicine practice is ready to provide complete care for you and your family. Its dedicated physicians – Crystal Hill, MD, and Christian Whittington, MD – recently welcomed Susan Aistrup, APRN, and Haley Gleason, APRN, to the team. The addition of these warm, caring and experienced advanced practice registered nurses makes more care available to more people when they need it. Aistrup was drawn to the practice for its community setting, friendly staff and state-of-the-art facility.

“With our wide range of services and up-to-date equipment, we can meet the healthcare needs of patients and their families right here in their own backyards,” she said. “My colleagues and I focus on the health of each individual to ensure they can be as healthy as possible. My many years as a nurse and commitment to listening closely guide me to care for patients of all ages.”

She is no stranger to the Pawnee County area, as she has family in Larned, Rozel and Burdett, Kansas.

Gleason is a resident of Great Bend, Kansas. She provides women’s health services, such as Pap tests and breast exams, as well as dermatology care, wound care and treatment for minor injuries.

“I look forward to providing care to the Pawnee Valley community and getting to know each of my patients personally,” she said. “Caring for patients and seeing them happy and healthy is what I love about being an advanced practice provider.”

Complete care for the community
The Pawnee Valley Campus staff is ready to plan and provide the important care you and your family need. While the novel coronavirus pandemic may cause some people to question whether obtaining care is safe, our team is fully prepared to maintain safety and offers reassurance for these concerns.

“Being a part of the health system provides us with important guidance and support as we continue to safely care for community,” said Dr. Hill. “Our team loves providing the care our patients need and deserve. Patients find comfort in knowing they will receive quality care close to home, and we are honored that Pawnee Valley Campus is viewed as an important asset to our small community.”
