Pratt residents concerned with expected hospital changes

PRATT, Kan. (KAKE) -- Residents in Pratt are expressing concerns about the only area hospital making changes that could make it less likely for patients to see their long-time physician when they seek care at Pratt Regional Medical Center.

On August 8, PRMC announced on Facebook it will be working on moving toward a hospitalist program. Under this program, doctors who've worked at the hospital for years would mainly provide care in outpatient clinics rather than the hospital.
