LIVING THE MISSION: DEPARTMENT SPOTLIGHT

The Laboratory at Holton Community Hospital in Holton, Kansas.

This April, we are proud to spotlight our Laboratory team as part of our Living the Mission: Department Spotlight at Holton Community Hospital.

Working behind the scenes, our lab professionals play a critical role in nearly every patient’s care—from routine testing to urgent diagnostics in the Emergency Room. Their work helps guide decisions, support providers, and ensure patients receive timely, accurate care close to home.

In 2025 alone, our laboratory conducted over 52,000 tests and supported more than 13,300 patient visits. In a rural community like Jackson County—home to just under 14,000 residents—that level of service shows just how essential local healthcare truly is.

During Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (April 19–25), we recognize their commitment to professionalism, compassion, and excellence in everything they do.

Please join us in thanking our Laboratory team for the vital role they play in caring for our community.
