Hutchinson (Kan.) Clinic added Michael Green, MD, to oversee services and establish a gastroenterology department in the clinic, The Hutchinson News reports.
GI services were previously provided at the hospital through a local partnership. The appointment of Dr. Green will establish GI services at the clinic.
Dr. Green was born in Hutchinson. He earned his medical degree from Lawrence-based University of Kansas and completed a fellowship at University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Hutchinson Clinic CEO Mike Heck said, "Dr. Green's addition to our team means that when a patient needs a GI physician, that need will be met in-house by a provider who is a part of the Hutch Team and has been a part of the Hutch community his entire life."
