Water conservation and care has long been a priority of the Kelly Administration and recently, a bill was signed to help with just that.
Wednesday, Gov. Laura Kelly ceremonially signed Senate Substitute for House Bill 2172 in Hays, establishing the water program task force to create a long-term investment program for water with a dedicated revenue source. The task force will also evaluate current funding for water and the state’s water planning statutes, submitting reports detailing its findings to the governor and the Kansas Legislature in 2026 and 2027, according to a release from the State of Kansas.
Southwest Medical Center is proud to welcome Saira Ugarte, APRN-CNM, as the newest nurse practitioner at Knudsen Clinic for Women’s Health. Saira brings a deep passion for women's health and years of experience caring for patients in our community.
A longtime member of the Southwest Medical Center team, Ugarte has worked in the OB unit since 2014. Her journey into health care began at a young age, inspired by her mother’s cancer diagnosis when she was just 15. That experience shaped her desire to become a nurse who delivers compassionate, patient-centered care.

The 2025 Bazaar Days will take place Friday, July 18 (with some stores opening as early as 6 a.m.) and Saturday, July 19, with the stores operating during their regular hours.
