CCMC reports record radiology volume, awaits May 15 grant decisions for $2.5M and $10M projects
Summary
Austin Gillard, CEO of CCMC, told the Clay County commissioners that radiology set a scans record and the hospital is pursuing two delayed State of Kansas grants—a $2.5 million request for a Da Vinci surgical robot and a $10 million request to renovate the former Advena Nursing Home, with consideration of a memory care conversion.
Austin Gillard, chief executive officer of CCMC, told the Clay County Board on May 4 that the medical center is performing well so far in 2026 and that radiology recently hit a record number of scans. He said staff are exploring a limited Saturday MRI service (MRI-only Saturdays) to reduce weekday scanning demand.
Mr. Gillard said two State of Kansas grant announcement dates were delayed until May 15. One application requests $2.5 million to purchase a Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System; a second seeks $10 million to renovate the former Advena Nursing Home, including evaluating converting its assisted-living portion into a memory care unit. The Board and CCMC will await the May 15 grant announcements to see whether either award is made.
