Excelsior Springs Hospital Hosts Timely Health Education Events for the Community
Excelsior Springs Hospital continues its commitment to public health education with two upcoming events designed to empower residents to make informed decisions about their care.
This past week, hospital staff kicked things off with a visit to the Excelsior Springs Community Center. Tina Cook, ESH Director of Risk and Regulatory Compliance, led a timely session on emergency preparedness—addressing how to stay safe during summer storms, handle power outages, and protect yourself and your family during seasonal hazards. The presentation was part of a broader effort by the hospital to increase community awareness and safety.

Dr. Brad Hoffman will lead this important session, breaking down the differences between Emergency Departments (ED), Urgent Care Centers, Express Clinics, and Primary Care Providers (PCP). With so many care options available, understanding when and where to seek medical attention can save time, money, and even lives. Lunch is provided, and attendees are encouraged to register in advance.
Coming Soon: Understanding the Role of Your Primary Care Physician
Date: Thursday, July 31, 2025
Time: 11:30 a.m.
Location: Excelsior Springs Community Center – Senior Center
Join the Excelsior Springs Hospital’s Primary Care team for a presentation that explores how PCPs serve as the foundation of individual and community health. From managing chronic conditions to preventing illness and coordinating specialist care, PCPs play a vital role in promoting long-term wellness and cost-effective treatment. This session will highlight the benefits of ongoing care relationships and help community members understand how a primary care physician can guide them through the healthcare system more effectively.
Both events are free and open to the public as part of the hospital’s growing Health and Wellness program.
