High-Quality Obstetrics Has Arrived at Pawnee Valley Community Hospital
In a new development for growing families in the Larned area, Pawnee Valley Community Hospital (PVCH) will now offer obstetrics and prenatal care through their Family Medicine clinics starting in November. This care expansion, in collaboration with the Center for Women’s Health at HaysMed, will enhance local access to prenatal care, including imaging and routine testing, allowing patients to receive high-quality care closer to home. Arlo J. Reimer, MD, will be caring for expectant mothers at PVCH. In addition to his experience in specialized care, like obstetrics, he is a trusted family physician, seeing patients of all ages.
As part of this partnership, patients will have their initial obstetrics visit at the Center for Women’s Health at HaysMed. After this first appointment, low-risk patients can be referred to Dr. Reimer at Pawnee Valley Community Hospital Family Medicine to continue their prenatal appointments. At 28 weeks, patients will return to HaysMed for third-trimester care and delivery. After delivery, mothers can continue seeing Dr. Reimer for their follow-up care and newborn care.
This shared-care model offers patients flexibility and convenience to choose to receive care closer to where they live, benefiting from the high-quality care and personalized expertise of both hospitals.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our community and the surrounding areas,” said Melanie Urban, Administrator at Pawnee Valley Community Hospital. “Many of our patients are familiar with our providers through well-woman exams, pediatrics and family medicine services. Now, we are able to offer obstetrics services right here in our Family Medicine clinic, fostering an early relationship between patients and providers—an essential aspect of small community hospitals like ours. We look forward to taking this significant step toward providing comprehensive healthcare services for families in and around Larned.”
The partnership emphasizes the collaborative approach to patient care that PVCH and HaysMed strive for, ensuring the best outcomes for expectant mothers and their families. Both hospitals aim to create a smoother, more accessible experience for expectant mothers, ensuring they receive top-tier care both locally and through HaysMed’s facilities.
