Regional One Health

Taking time to listen is at the heart of quality primary care.

Carla recently shared her experience with Jeffery Stricklin, FNP-C at Primary Care Specialists, highlighting the thoughtful attention, understanding and unhurried approach she receives during her visits.

At Regional One Health, we’re proud of providers like Jeffery who prioritize every patient’s needs and ensure each visit feels focused, respectful and supportive.

Regional One Health’s Maternal Fetal Medicine Ultrasound program received accreditation through the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) in Fetal Echocardiography, OB Standard Ultrasound, and Detailed Second Trimester OB Ultrasound. Regional One Health is currently the only practice in the region accredited in these domains, which reflects the team’s clinical expertise and ongoing commitment to delivering the highest quality of care. Thank you to our amazing ultrasound team for your commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and excellence for our patients!

Don’t Let the Heat Get to You!

Wondering how to recognize heat-related illnesses? Watch for warning signs like headaches, muscle cramps, and excessive fatigue. If you experience any of these, take a break and hydrate. If symptoms are severe, seek immediate medical attention. Protect your health by staying under shade and drinking enough fluids.

Remember, your body needs care during these hot days.

You never know when you’re going to need critical medical care – and Jennifer Kruchten discovered that the hard way.

When an ordinary toothache turned into a life-or-death emergency, Regional One Health was there with the resources Jennifer needed. Now, she’s back to her work and family, and has become an advocate for the need to build a new Regional One Health campus to serve our community.

“I will always be a supporter of Regional One Health. We need to take this precious asset and protect it, and the only way to do that is with a new facility.”

After suffering serious burn injuries in a firepit accident, statistical models gave Keith Brown just a 14 percent chance of survival. Keith, his family and faith, and the exceptional team at Regional One Health's Firefighters Burn Center had other ideas.
“They built a fortress around me. That fortress protected me from infection, it protected me from pain, and it protected me from depression. Every day, every hour, every moment they walked the walls of that fortress to protect me,” Keith says.
“I’m proud of what we have at Regional One Health. Because of them, people like me walk out of there and go back to our families.”
