Doctor Polich Leaves Practice Amid Local Care Gaps
Polich closes her Garden City clinic citing uncertainty on her next steps while noting many patients will stay with current primary care physicians. She sees difficulty finding a new doctor in southwest Kansas as access to care remains limited and Siena Medical Clinic stabilizes local services through St. Catherine Hospital. The Kearny County Hospital will take Polich’s equipment and records, with Crystal Faudere set to begin a family practice position there after completing residency.
