Newman Regional Health Medical Partners Cancels Non-Urgent Family Medicine and Pediatrics Appointments

(Emporia, KS) — Newman Regional Health Medical Partners announces cancellation of all non-urgent Family Medicine and Pediatrics clinic appointments, effective Friday, March 27. Plans to re-evaluate this decision are scheduled for April 3.

These changes are being made to reduce potential viral exposure in accordance with Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and Lyon County Public Health, and to ensure resources can be directed to patients with the most urgent medical need. With the addition of a Respiratory Clinic that opened on Thursday, March 26, and to further protect the health and safety of patients and staff, it is important to preserve the team of physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and reception staff
during this time.

Patients will be contacted regarding their currently scheduled appointment at which time Newman Regional Health Medical Partners staff may reschedule visits. Visit types that are currently being rescheduled include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Physicals
  • Wellness Exams
  • Well-Child Checks
  • Screening/diagnostic studies

Additionally, if patients are needing to schedule an appointment but know the need is not urgent, please consider scheduling the visit at a safer time.
