Help us provide care for the most vulnerable in our community

Your donation supports Bluestem Health programs that address a few of the biggest needs in our city: dental care for patients on Medicaid and diabetes education for our patients with prediabetes and diabetes.  Many of the patients receiving these services have extremely limited, or otherwise cost-prohibitive, access to the care they need. Here’s why your support matters:

  • 82% of our dental patients are Uninsured or on Medicaid
  • Our no-cost Diabetes Education programs help patients gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage their condition successfully.

When you donate to Bluestem Health between now and May 28, you’re helping us continue to offer life-changing support.

Congratulations Ashley, Kreshel Clinic Manager

Congratulations Ashley

We would like to officially welcome Ashley Wilhite, LPN, to her new role as Clinic Manager at Bluestem Health – Kreshel Clinic. Congratulations, Ashley! Ashley has worked at Bluestem for 5 years and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to her new team. She has worked in nursing homes since the age of 19 as a CNA/MA and graduated from Southeast Community College in 2014 with her LPN.

Ashley indicates the greatest assets of the Bluestem Health – Kreshel Clinic are that the staff work well together and treat each other like family. She loves the variety of different things she gets to do at work on a daily basis, as well as interacting and helping staff.

According to Ashley, “At Bluestem Health, we work in a family medicine setting and we have the opportunity to cultivate relationships with the whole family.”

When asked how current co-workers would describe her, Ashley said she believes she would be described as knowledgeable and dependable to always follow through with what she says she’s going to do. Ashley is also a team player and always willing to help others.

She has been married for seven years and has a son, Kyler, who is nine years old. A dog and two cats are also part of the family. Outside of the office, Ashley enjoys playing softball, watching any kind of sports, and going shopping.

Ashley’s mantra is that every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.

We are happy Ashley is a part of our team!
