Governor’s appointees to ensure professionalism in health care

To ensure Kansans receive medical care from qualified, professional health care workers, Governor Kathleen Sebelius today reappointed four individuals to the State Board of Healing Arts.

“These individuals each bring backgrounds in the health care field, which is very helpful to the mission of this board,” Sebelius said. “I have complete confidence in their ability to help the State Board of Healing Arts maintain its high standards of excellence.”

The State Board of Healing Arts protects the public by regulating 11 health care professions and ensuring these individuals meet and maintain certain qualifications. The board also protects against incompetent practice, unprofessional conduct and other proscribed behavior by individuals who have been credentialed to practice in Kansas.

The following were reappointed to the board to serve a four-year term:

• Vinton Arnett, Hays
• Ray Conley, D.C., Overland Park
• Sue Ice, Newton
• Betty McBride, Columbus
