Four hours away
In 2002 patients from southwest Kansas were sent to rehab centers in Wichita, Hays or Amarillo. Families drove hundreds of miles a week, and many patients came home weaker than they should have.
Our story
Twenty-two years in Dodge City
Why southwest Kansas needed a rehab center of its own.
Our story
Back issues
Built in Dodge City
Sandhill Plum opened in 2003 next to the medical center, with 40 suites and a therapy gym designed by a physical therapist who grew up on a wheat farm.
Two languages
By 2008 a third of our patients spoke Spanish at home. We hired and trained a bilingual therapy team so every patient could learn in the language they think in.
The return-to-work course
In 2014 we built an outdoor course with gravel, a gate and a truck step, because going home out here usually means going back to work.
Today
Fifty-six suites, nine counties, and most patients home in about seventeen days, closer to family than they would have been.
