DEREK  VANCE
ADMINISTRATION

In every family there are well-loved treasures whose very sight sends out a rush of warm feelings. It's easy to spot these treasures in the Labette Health family where the secret to success lies in the highly qualified, dedicated team of people who work there.  It's not only easy to see the many gifted people, but impossible to avoid feeling their warmth.  That's what attracted Derek Vance when he was searching for a position in hospital administration.

"I chose Labette Health for several reasons – especially the strong vision and leadership demonstrated at the facility.  I really enjoy working with this eclectic group of people – physicians, administrators, clerks, nurses – all of the staff."

Derek chose a career in hospital administration because he wanted a challenging field that allowed him to make a difference – to have an impact for good on people's lives. When he was introduced to the Labette Health philosophy and saw the commitment to mission demonstrated by their skilled team, Derek knew he'd found just the opportunity he wanted.

"The people! The people are the strength of Labette Health.  It's the medical staff – the many specialties; the hospital staff – people who live in the community and really want to make a difference, and the honest, ethical leadership. The people are the treasures – the strength of Labette Health."
