WAKEENEY — Trego County-Lemke Memorial Hospital now provides daily ultrasound service to patients.  Previously, ultrasound was only available three days a week at the facility and was performed by a mobile service.

WaKeeney native Sammy Augustine is serving as the hospital’s new ultrasound technologist, providing all aspects of sonography including vascular, echocardiography, OB/GYN and abdominal. Augustine is a graduate of Fort Hays State University and is available to do scans Monday through Friday.

The hospital will use the latest Philips ultrasound equipment.

“We are excited to have Sammy here and be able to offer ultrasound daily in order to better serve the needs of all our patients,” said Radiology Supervisor Lisa Kuhn.

Patients are required to have an order from their provider to schedule an ultrasound exam. For more information or to schedule your exam, call (785) 743-2182. Ext. 129.
