Following a four-city tour of western Kansas hospitals Friday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Barnett will host a town hall meeting Saturday in Ellis.

The public is invited to attend the event, Sept. 23 at 10:30 a.m., in the Ellis High School, 1706 Monroe.

Barnett currently practices medicine at the Cotton O’Neil Clinic with Stormont-Vail Health in Topeka, Kansas. He is president of the Shawnee County Medical Society and serves on the Board of Trustees of the Kansas Medical Society.

Barnett has been a practicing physician for 35 years. “I get up every day to diagnose and treat my patients,” Barnett said. “My #OneKansas agenda will help develop practical and cost effective ways for the citizens of our state to receive care. Kansans deserve no less.”
