Our volunteers are helping make a difference in pediatric care! 🧡

This summer, Wesley Medical Center volunteers organized a donation drive to support our Child Life specialists, who help children and families navigate the hospital experience through age-appropriate activities, play and emotional support.

Led by Wesley volunteer Becky Austin, the effort brought together donations of puzzles, toys, coloring books, games, art supplies and other items to help bring comfort and moments of joy to young patients.

Wesley Children's Hospital features more than 50 pediatric specialists and subspecialists in a variety of medical specialties while working to support children's emotional and developmental needs alongside their medical care.

Thank you to Becky and all our volunteers for supporting the compassionate, patient-centered care we strive to provide every day.

For 30 years, Wesley Birth Care Suites has helped families welcome new lives in a setting designed around comfort, connection and professional care.

As KSN TV shared, our suite-style approach allows those who are expecting a baby to stay in the same room through labor, delivery and recovery — supporting a more personal, family-centered experience while keeping the safety of the hospital close by.

We’re grateful for colleagues like nurse Amy McCargo, who has been part of Wesley Birth Care Suites from the beginning and has helped care for thousands of families during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

E-bikes and e-scooters can travel faster than many riders realize — and at Wesley, our trauma team is seeing the consequences.

As of Sept. 16, Wesley had treated 50 people injured on e-bikes or e-scooters in 2026, compared with 26 during all of 2025.

Dr. Joe Sliter, Wesley trauma director, recently spoke with KAKE News about why speed matters when it comes to injury risk.

“They go much faster than most people can pedal,” Dr. Sliter said. “Some of these E-bikes go in excess of speeds over 20 miles an hour and regular bike helmets are not really safety rated for that kind of speed.”

He also cautioned that greater speed means greater force in a crash:

“The faster you're going, the more energy is involved in that type of accident, and the higher your risk of having a major injury just from the speed alone,” Dr. Sliter said.

Dr. Sliter encourages riders to understand how quickly their device can travel and stop, ride within their experience level and use bike lanes and approved riding areas when available. For speeds over 20 mph, he says a motorcycle helmet is more appropriate than a standard bicycle helmet.

When Wichita’s boil-water advisory created a challenge for our community, Wesley Medical Center moved quickly to help protect patient care and hospital operations.

We installed a dedicated potable water line that allows tanker trucks to deliver clean, fresh water directly to our hospital. The connection provides a reliable source of potable water while the advisory remains in effect and adds another layer of resiliency to our emergency preparedness infrastructure.

Working closely with HCA Healthcare, our teams were able to quickly access the resources and emergency response support needed to establish the connection and secure ongoing tanker deliveries.

“Our patients and colleagues depend on Wesley to be ready to care for our community regardless of the circumstances around us," Wesley Healthcare CEO Bill Voloch said.

This collaboration helps our teams remain focused on what matters most: continuing to provide safe, high-quality care while city and state officials work to resolve the water issue.

We will continue working with HCA Healthcare and community partners to maintain tanker deliveries as needed.

👶 Every baby deserves a strong start. For some families, that begins in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

In this video, Dr. Erik Thingvoll shares what you can expect if your baby needs NICU care. Dr. Thingvoll is a neonatologist and NICU medical director with our broader HCA Healthcare network.

Each year, more than 200,000 babies are born in HCA Healthcare hospitals — and some arrive earlier than expected. According to March of Dimes, about 1 in 10 babies in the U.S. are born prematurely, meaning they are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.

HCA Healthcare is proud to partner with March of Dimes to help improve outcomes for moms and babies. Find more helpful information about NICU care from March of Dimes: https://bit.ly/46Fs836

When newborns need specialized care, response time and teamwork matter.

Beginning Aug. 31, Wesley Healthcare added dedicated emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to the LifeWATCH Neonatal Transport Team, strengthening the 24/7 transport support available for babies who need a higher level of care.

These EMT colleagues will drive the neonatal team to referring hospitals and airport shuttle runs. During ground transports, they also can assist the care team as an extra set of hands for critical patient care. The team includes advanced practice providers, respiratory therapists and dedicated EMTs, with expert neonatologists available 24/7 through Wesley Healthcare’s role as a regional perinatal center.

“Our team is excited to have dedicated EMT drivers who are part of the LifeWATCH team and available around the clock,” said Katie Filby, APRN, neonatology, Wesley LifeWATCH. “This supports our goal of getting out the door in less than 30 minutes when a baby needs us.”

The dedicated ambulance and in-house EMT support are designed to help improve response times to referring hospitals while further strengthening neonatal transport care across Kansas and beyond.

Wesley Healthcare's LifeWATCH Neonatal Transport Team has served families since 1974, bringing specialized neonatal expertise to babies when and where it is needed. Explore Wesley Healthcare’s neonatal care services: https://bit.ly/4gztB0M

🐾 Meet Daisy and Mickee, some of Wesley's four-legged friends making a meaningful difference for patients, caregivers and families. This National Dog Day, we’re celebrating them and the joy they bring every day.

Facility and therapy dogs are valued members of our broader HCA Healthcare family. These specially trained companions can brighten someone’s day and may help reduce stress, anxiety and feelings of isolation. Some even have their own badges and earn anniversary pins for their years of service.

The benefits of dogs go beyond clinical settings. Pets can offer unconditional love, comfort and companionship — and encourage us to move more.

Whether they’re bringing calm to a care setting or adding a daily dose of pawsitivity to our lives, dogs truly make a difference.
