Kimball (Neb.) Health Services is adding orthopedic surgeon Jeffrey MacMillan, MD, and his assistant and business partner Karen Wenner, APRN, DNP, to its staff, marking the beginning of orthopedic care at Kimball, according to an Oct. 11 report from News Channel Nebraska.
Dr. MacMillan and Dr. Wenner will begin practicing in the Kimball area Nov. 1, with the addition of a new medical facility with additional patient beds.
Dr. MacMillan specializes in total knee, shoulder and hip replacements, using minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Wenner, an orthopedic nurse practitioner, has worked with Dr. MacMillan in Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska. The pair join Kimball Hospital from Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, Neb.
"It’s an exciting time for the community, to get not only a brand new facility, but hopefully to bring a whole bunch of new providers to the community," Dr. MacMillan told News Channel Nebraska. "There’s no shortage of a need for orthopedics here."
