Wichita, Kan.-based Ascension Via Christi will assume operations of a hospital emergency department that closed abruptly this year, according to The Wichita Business Journal.
Under a deal struck with the Wellington (Kan.) City Council, Ascension Via Christi will take over Sumner Community Hospital's ED starting next year.
The community hospital, in Wellington, closed March 12 leaving the city and surrounding communities without an emergency room.
When the ED reopens, it will house four exam rooms, a triage area and trauma room. It will also provide imaging, pharmacy and lab services.
