E-mail: info@shredks.com
Year opened: 2006
About us: Absolute Shred of Kansas / ShredKS serves all of Kansas with professional, on-site high-speed document shredding. We have invested in industry-leading equipment that allows us to provide customers with an exclusive “no-touch” process. Secure destruction of confidential information is assured by our pulverizing process, which utilizes a safety screen to guarantee the smallest particle size versus ineffective strip and crosscut methods. Our truck travels to client locations for either one-time clean-outs of stored and accumulated records, or scheduled route service. When using clear-out services, clients simply identify the material to be destroyed. Our bonded and insured agents transfer the materials to the shred truck in locking containers and immediately pulverize up to 5,000 pounds per hour. No sorting is required as the process will thoroughly destroy clips, bound ledger reports and three-ring binders. Clients choosing scheduled route service are provided with locked document-collection containers for document storage until the truck arrives to pulverize the contents. Frequency is matched to the clients’ needs, allowing both large and small businesses to utilize secure scheduled services.

The feature that distinguishes us from most other financial institutions is that it is owned and controlled by the members who save and borrow. Great Plains FCU is also a not-for-profit organization and is run by a volunteer board. Just a few of the services Great Plains FCU have to offer are savings accounts, checking accounts, certificate of deposits, 24-hour Member Audio Response System (MARS) with Internet access, IRAs, payroll deduction, MasterCard, ATM/Debit Cards, consumer loans and real-estate loans. Members’ shares are federally insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration, a U.S. government agency.
New in 2009: To show our appreciation to our members, GPFCU board of directors authorized a rebate of 10 percent of the loan interest members paid during 2009 for the fourth year in a row. Also, GPFCU did not forget our members who are savers. GPFCU’s board authorized a bonus dividend to be paid to members at the end of 2009 for the third year in a row. Both the loan interest rebate and the bonus dividends were paid out to members whose accounts were in good standing. This was our way of saying thank-you for looking to the credit union for your financing needs.

About us: HCH is a full-service hospital with an emergency room. Open 24/7/365. We offer acute care and post-acute rehab care (swing bed). Outpatient services include lab work, x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, sonograms, EEGs, EKGs, treadmill tests, nerve conduction studies, sleep studies, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, occupation therapy and laparoscopic surgeries. The HCH Specialty Clinic brings specialists to town in the areas of general surgery, cardiology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, urology, podiatry, gynecology, otolaryngology (ENT), rheumatology and pain management.
New in 2009: Last year we made a lot of changes with regard to clinical equipment—new 16 slice CT scanner, digital HD scopes, digital radiography, etc. This year we concentrated on information technology. We completely upgraded our information technology systems with the purchase of CPSI. This changed our admission process, patient statements, test reporting and many other financial processes. This major change enables us to add the federally mandated electronic health record to our facility within a year or two. Physical Therapy department hours were extended to provide for more convenient appointment times. We added three new clinics—rheumatology, gynecology and pain management. Pam Abbott was hired as the new director of radiology. The volunteer program continues to pick up momentum thanks in large part to our coordinator, Velma Hadley. We benefited from well over 200 volunteer hours in 2009. Finally, we have implemented the new ADT Immediate Response System to enable the mass notification of employees in times of mass trauma or under disaster circumstances.
Looking to 2010: Plans are still in place for the construction of our new hospital along U.S. Highway 56. Groundbreaking is anticipated in spring 2010. We also look forward to the purchase of new telemetry equipment for use in the nursing department to monitor patient’s heart rhythms and other vital signs. Laboratory is preparing for the installation of a new Beckman Coulter Chemistry analyzer. As was mentioned above, the addition of an electronic health record to our CPSI system will allow for seamless communication of your important private health information among the hospitals or specialists who need access to it.

HILLSBORO?MUSEUMS

Address: 205 S. Ash
Phone: 947-3775
Web: www.hillsboro-museums.com
Year opened: 1958
About us: We manage Hillsboro’s two museums, the Mennonite Settlement Museum and the William F. Schaeffler House Museum. At the Mennonite Settlement Museum visitors experience the history of pioneer life on the prairies of western Marion County. Here in the early 1870s, immigrant refugee Mennonites came from south Russia and central Poland. Their story is told in the unique 1876 Peter Paul Loewen House and the replica 1876 Jacob Friesen flouring windmill. Later the town of Hillsboro was built as a railroad center for shipping wheat to market. A leading family business in Hillsboro was the Schaeffler Mercantile Store. In 1909, prosperous William F. Schaeffler built a beautiful Queen Anne house, now the William F. Schaeffler House Museum. The Schaeffler House can be toured and is used for community special events and a summer weekly farmers’ market.
New in 2009: Last year, as a result of a grant from the Kansas Humanities Council, we opened our first formal exhibit at the Museums’ Visitor Center. Joining the American Mosaic is an exhibit about 19th-century immigrants to this part of Kansas and the early development of Hillsboro. The exhibit follows the lives, cultures, and heritages of the two families represented in the two historic houses the museums interpret.
Looking to 2010: The Hillsboro Museums received a grant from the Heritage Trust Fund Grant Program of the Cultural Heritage Division of the Kansas State Historical Society. The grant is for repairing the chimneys and roof of the William F. and Ida G. Schaeffler House. The project will cost up to $105,327. The grant from the Heritage Trust Fund is $84,261. Because the house is on the National Register of Historic Places (a program overseen by the U.S. Park Services), great care will be given to keep all repairs and replacements accurate to the original material and architecture of the house. The roof slates will be replaced with the same kind of slate that was used originally. Work on the project will start later this year with bids expected to be let in January of next year. The project would be finished by the end of August of 2010.

PANZER CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC

Address: 122 S. Main
Phone: 947-3157
About us: At Panzer Chiropractic Clinic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. A sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Hillsboro office are: Chiropractic care providing advanced spinal correction utilizing state-of-the-art techniques. Newer correction methods are available and even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. We often find it helpful to teach our patients certain corrective exercises and activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. This can be achieved by introducing weight loss, lifestyle advice, and nutritional counseling. To speed, complement and enhance the healing process, we also provide the following physiological therapeutic procedures: spinal decompression therapy, cold laser therapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and intersegmental traction.
New in 2009: This year we implemented a weight-loss program called Ideal Protein. This method is a quick and healthy protocol with proven, long-lasting results. The body has three sources of energy—carbohydrates, proteins and lipids—and burns carbohydrates first for energy. Once the body has depleted its carbohydrate reserves, it will simultaneously draw on its protein and fat reserves for energy therefore, promoting fat loss, helping maintain muscle mass, toning and revitalizing skin, treating cellulite, promoting energy, naturally suppressing your appetite, and re-establishing pancreatic function, which controls your blood sugar. Along with losing 3-7 pounds per week, nutritional education is also provided. So far over 200 pounds have been lost and the numbers keep climbing weekly.
Looking to 2010: Dr. Panzer will be offering free seminars about weight loss and spinal care in her office as well as out of her office in 2010. Most people seek chiropractic care when they are experiencing pain. Spinal problems may progress for years without causing any symptoms. An example of a disease that goes unnoticed without symptoms includes heart disease; in fact the first symptom many people experience is a heart attack. We tend to neglect our spine because we can’t see it, but it houses our spinal cord, which transports messages from our brain to our nerves and to the rest of our body. It is what also gives us the ability to move and to stand up straight.

Prairie View experienced a demand for transportation as a result of providing more employment services for people with a severe and persistent mental illness. We also received a $1.66 million grant from the Kansas Housing Resources Corp. to serve homeless and at-risk families and individuals throughout central Kansas. Prairie View serves as the regional processing center for 22 counties. A $100,000 Tenant Based Rental Assistance Grant was also given to Prairie View by the Kansas Housing Resources Corp to help Marion County residents with severe mental illness afford safe and decent housing.
Looking to 2010: Prairie View’s plans for 2010 include striving to meet the identified needs of underserved populations in the area with innovative development of program options, enhancing our ability to continue providing high quality behavioral health services.
