Post Rock Family Medicine is composed of five separate practices: Daniel J. Sanchez, MD, Prairie Star Family Practice, LifeLine Family Medicine, Rooks County Health Center Clinic, and Solomon Valley Family Medicine. We have clinics in Plainville, Stockton and Palco.

Our mission is to provide the people of Rooks County and northwest Kansas the opportunity to optimize their health through a patient-centered medical home that delivers professional, compassionate, excellent service.

We all work together as a team to coordinate your care; when you see any of PRFM’s providers, that information is shared back to your primary provider through the electronic health record.

Our office hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.  You can also find our providers staffing Doctors Without Delay, a walk in clinic at Rooks County Health Center, open 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Saturday.

Flu season is upon us and Post Rock Family Medicine wants to remind you that it is time for your annual flu shot.

Vaccination against influenza (flu) is extremely important because there is no cure for the flu.  Antibiotics simply don’t work.  Antibiotics are meant to treat bacterial infections and the flu is a virus.  When a person suffering from the flu, there is no need to take these unnecessary antibiotics.  You can read more here about the trouble surrounding unnecessary antibiotic use.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services suggests that anybody age 6 months or older should be vaccinated for the flu.  The benefits of receiving the shot highly outweigh any potential reactions and create a healthier community on the whole.  The more people that are vaccinated against the flu, the less frequently the virus will spread.

As is tradition, the Rooks County Health Center will be hosting a booth at the Rooks County Fair this week.  The booth will embrace the spirit of healthy competition between departments at the hospital in a fundraising effort.  Different departments will have a representative that people can “vote” for via monetary donations.  The winning department’s representative will have the pleasure of a dunk in a dunk tank on Friday at 7pm.

The representative for Post Rock and Doctors Without Delay will be Zach Muhrer.  Zach is a Business Manager for Post Rock and works primarily out of the Stockton Medical Clinic.  Zach offered, “While I hope that all of the departments do well with the fundraising effort, I think it would be a lot of fun to be the department with the most votes!  Please come by the booth and share your votes with Post Rock and DWD!”
