GARNETT — Saint Luke’s Home Care & Hospice has moved its south branch office from Ottawa to Garnett’s Anderson County Hospital. According to a press release from Saint Luke’s, the new office is located within the administration office pod near the hospital’s main entrance at 421 S. Maple St.
The Saint Luke’s Home Care & Hospice south branch provides administrative support and serves as a home office for clinical team members who serve patients in Allen, Anderson, Bourbon, Coffey, Franklin, Linn, and Miami counties, as well as extending into southern parts of Douglas and Johnson counties.
ALL PHONE AND fax numbers remain the same and there is no impact to home health or home hospice patient care or admissions processing because of the move. Patients and family caregivers served through the south branch office should continue to call 785-448-2753 on weekdays and for on-call weekend and after-hours support.
“This move will create an improved work environment for our staff and a closer relationship with Saint Luke’s Kansas Critical Access Hospitals who serve the same communities,” says Jamie Luark, CNO for the Critical Access Region, Home Health, Hospice, and Clinical Practice.
THE NEW office in Garnett is more centralized, adding convenience for many of the care team members who frequently travel to the branch office for meetings and to pick up supplies. Through the move, team members will work more closely with employees at Saint Luke’s two critical access hospitals in Garnett at Anderson County Hospital and Iola’s Allen County Regional Hospital.
Saint Luke’s Home Care & Hospice now provides services to more than 25 counties in Missouri and Kansas, with five regional offices and the freestanding Saint Luke’s Hospice House located in midtown Kansas City, Mo.
