On Monday Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-01) visited St. Rose Health Center in Great Bend and continued the tradition of holding a Town Hall in every county in the Big First District.

At St. Rose Health Center, the Congressman toured the Center’s new state-of-the-art facility which is set to open for use on April 20. With the facility and their recent partnership withHaysMed and Centura Health, St. Rose continues to grow out their technology and network of health services for the Central Kansas region.

Following the tour, at the Front Door Community Center the Congressman held his 276th Town Hall while in office. Kansans turned out to discuss a variety of issues ranging from Veterans Choice, health care costs, and GMOs, to EPA regulation and the national debt.

In addition to Barton County, on Monday the Congressman also held Town Halls in Lane, Ness and Rush Counties. On Thursday, he’ll visit Geary County, and next week he’ll visit Lincoln, Ottawa, Mitchell, Osborne, Trego and Rice Counties. In his fifth year in Congress, it has been reported that Congressman Huelskamp has held more in-person Town Halls than any sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives – the Town Halls over the two weeks will make 283 total.
