New West
Kennewick Primary
Care Clinic
Will add Urgent Care
clinic in November
Kadlec Clinic West Kennewick Primary
Care has moved to its new location at
9040W. Clearwater Avenue.
Providers at the clinic are
Shannon Dramis-Phipps, D.O.,
Joseph Oro, M.D.,
Jessica Almaguer, DNP-FNP,
and Stephanie Santos, ARNP.
The clinic cares for patients of all
ages, and new patients are welcome.
The clinic includes onsite, state-of-
the-art imaging services.
Adding Urgent Care soon
In November, the clinic site will
also offer Urgent Care.
“This is a new hybrid care model,”
said Brett Yancey, West Kennewick
Primary Care practice manager. “In
addition to primary care, the building
will also offer a separate urgent care
clinic with six exam rooms.”
The providers rotate between this
site and Kadlec Urgent Care at
4804W. Clearwater Ave., Kennewick,
and 9605 Sandifur Parkway, Pasco.
“This is a good way for us to meet
our growing urgent care needs while
making efficient use of our facilities,”
said Yancey.
Primary Care Clinic hours are
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The clinic can
be reached by calling
509-942-3291
.
Urgent Care will be open from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. No appointments
will be necessary for Urgent Care.
Each year, Kadlec recognizes a Kadlec medical staff member and caregiver
who embody the compassion and caring that is part of a truly patient-centered
experience.
The 2016 Spirit of Planetree Physician
Champion Award winner is Omar Khan, M.D.
His nomination read, in part, “Dr. Khan spends
every day working with patients and families with
severe chronic illness or who are actively dying.
He takes time every single day with emotionally
draining issues and sits and listens while trying
to make symptoms better. It is always about what
the patient needs or wants at the place where
they are. He takes the time to teach nurses and doctors about how they can make a
difference in both the inpatient units and in the outpatient areas. He has a vision of
what end-of-life care can look like for our organization.
Recently, Dr. Khan had cared for a young woman for a year as her symptoms and
pain became worse. When all treatments had failed and she went to Hospice, he
made a point of visiting her at Hospice House and promised that he would continue
to be with her until the end. This included a last visit after working hours one night.”
The 2016 Spirit of Planetree Caregiver Award
winner is Jenny Davis, MA, CC-SLP.
Her nomination read, in part, “Jenny is the
epitome of personalization. She is a caregiver
who has Parkinson’s disease and has chosen
to specialize in helping patients with the same
disease. She is an amazingly skilled provider
anyway, but her ability to add that personalization
to her approach does so much for our patients.
Jenny exemplifies CAREgiving and takes it to the
next level. She is very inspirational. Her experiences have taught her about living
in the moment. She says ‘If you spend your life worried about, I have Parkinson’s, I
have cancer, whatever it happens to be, you’re going to miss those 3,000 sunsets in
between. You have today. What can you take into that sunset, what can you take into
your day that you can say, ‘This was good?’”
We also recognize the valuable contribution of
our therapy pets.
Our 2016 Spirit of Planetree
Animal Therapy Award winner is Baylee.
The
nomination read, in part, “Since Baylee is a
smaller dog, most people would want her to get
up on the bed next to them. Baylee would lean
up against the patient to snuggle and get pets.
Many of the nurses also love to see Baylee.”
Congratulations to these winners.
