JCHC Physician Recruiting Update

The Johnson County Healthcare Center in Buffalo has been actively recruiting physicians for a number of months, preparing for Dr. Mark Schueler to slow down in the healthcare center and work significantly fewer hours.

At the Hospital board of trustees meeting Wednesday, Dr. Schueler told the board that recruitment has been slow and explained what eventually was decided on.

Dr. Shueler said there were three applicants that were screened by the facility that weren’t a good fit for various reasons and that he was eventually asked to work six days a month in the ER, which he has accepted.

He said the situation will be beneficial for both he and the healthcare center for the foreseeable future.
