Western KY Ortho & Neuro Associates

It’s radiology week! This crew is a well oiled machine. They take great pride in their work, and the high quality x-rays they produce show that. 🩻 X-rays are a vital piece in the orthopedic puzzle and help our surgeons make the proper diagnosis. Thank you Rad Techs for being rad! 🤙

Congratulations to Dr. Fee! He is the winner of Best of BG’s 2022 Best Orthopaedic Surgeon. This is his 5th year in a row winning this award. 🥇 Dr. Patton, Riley, Singer, and Heltsley were all runners-up. Congrats to all of you! 🏆

At WKONA, we have staff who started working here before it was even called WKONA! 😱 We aren’t saying they’re old; we’re just saying they’re experienced. 🤐💪
Committed staff makes all the difference! We are thankful for these folks (and the ones not pictured!) who have stuck it out with us for the long haul!

Happy Halloween from WKONA! We had a blast yesterday and hope you did too! 🎃 👻💀Swipe to see some old Halloween throwbacks ➡️ 👀

Dr. Heltsley’s team works hard to make sure patients receive top notch care. We are thankful for them and their desire to help people get back to normal!

For 50 years, our commitment to our community hasn’t wavered. As one of the first hospitals designed by Dr. Thomas Frist Sr., we remain stalwart in the mission he and his fellow HCA Healthcare co-founders laid out for our organization: “Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life.”

As we celebrate 50 years of serving south central Kentucky, we remain focused on serving Bowling Green and its surrounding areas by bringing top-quality healthcare close to home.

Today we wrap up the Surgeon Introduction series! 🎉
