Hutchinson Regional Medical Foundation Launches Housing Program

We are proud to announce the Hutchinson Regional Medical Foundation’s (HRMF) launch of a housing program that encourages providers to live in the community they serve. At the end of HRMF’s fiscal year, a budget of $750,000 was solidified to support this new program and initiative, which focuses on a three-year commitment from the provider in exchange for a housing incentive to purchase a home in Reno County.

“Hutchinson has a history of being a place of opportunity for people to create their own paths and have a direct impact on the improvements they want to see in the area. With excellent school systems and a small-town community feel with access to major highways and metropolitan areas, this is an ideal place to raise a family, make a difference and grow your career. This program invites providers into our community,” says newly appointed Foundation Board Chairman Ann Bush. The program is extended to doctors, advanced practice providers and therapists at this time.

Because Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System is the county’s leading employer, there are major benefits to providers living in Reno County. “In addition to improving access to healthcare services, there are economic impacts for our community,” explains Benjamin Anderson, President and CEO of the healthcare system. “We are so proud to call this town home, and our system is strategically seeking out providers to join our call to live among our neighbors, families and friends.”

The first recipient of the program is Dr. Doug Moore, who has moved his family of 11 to Reno
County and will begin providing services later in August.

“The Foundation’s mission is to support the goals and plans of Hutchinson Regional Medical
Center,” says former Foundation Board Chairman Bob Fee. “The program offers us a unique way to assist in the growth of the healthcare system while simultaneously aiding in the physical and economic growth of our county. We will see the benefits and return on this investment for years to come, and look forward to the opportunity of further expanding the program.”
