October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month. We're proud that Dr. Brian Kroll has brought advanced point-of-care ultrasound skills to our rural community. He explains it best: "Point of care ultrasound has been a valuable addition to the care we provide in our rural communities. It allows us to evaluate certain conditions more quickly and gives patients answers closer to home. Since completing my training, I've had more patients ask about diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound services because they know the expertise is available locally," said Dr. Kroll, family practice provider.We're grateful for having been a pilot site for this hands-on training through the Orion Initiative, helping expand access to specialized care close to home. If you'd like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Brian Kroll, call us at 608.647.6321. He is currently accepting new patients.#RuralHealthCare #OrionInitiative #UltrasoundAwarenessMonth ...
