When asked why he wanted to join our team at Clay County Medical Center, Bryce said, “Maggie and I first moved to Kansas in the summer of 2017 after I accepted a job at the radio station. Before making the move, Kyle Bauer and Rocky Downing showed us around the Clay Center community. I vividly remember Kyle boasting about the hospital and how CCMC just completed a major renovation and construction project. Growing up in a rural community, I understood the importance of a modern, well-kept medical facility. Fast forward a few years and we all are traversing the COVID-19 pandemic. Working closely with the hospital during that time while news director, I was extremely impressed at how well CCMC responded under the leadership of Austin Gillard and that adaptability only continues to be prevalent today. It is apparent with the recent local focus on mental health. The hiring of a new psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner for the clinic in Riley is just one example. Additionally, our daughter Maelie was born at CCMC in February of 2020 and our experience was fantastic. From Dr. Lohrmeyer to all the nursing and support staff and the birthing center itself, we really enjoyed the experience. Along with my experiences, witnessing Clay County Medical Center continue to flourish in Clay Center and the surrounding communities is why I want to work here.”
