The Wilson Medical Center Board of Trustees is named as the Kansas Hospital Association's Board of the Year.

 

The announcement was made at the K-H-A Convention and Trade Show held in Overland Park last Friday. The award recognizes community hospital boards that display excellence in governance and leadership. The prize was changed this year from an individual award to a group award to honor hospital boards of directors who are leaders, and who give back to the community while routinely going beyond the call of duty.

 

The board includes Chad Estes, Justin Newland, Michael Springer, Mitchell Peitz, Amy Brown, Drew Johnson and Doctors Miranda McKellar and Bert Chronister.

 

The board shares the 2026 award with the Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems Board of Trustees in Beloit.
