(KMZA)--Onaga-based Community Healthcare System (CHCS) has announced the addition of Dr. Emma Beck, a board-eligible Family Medicine physician with specialized training in obstetrics, to its medical staff.

According to a release, Dr. Beck brings a passion for women- health, obstetrics, international medicine, and point-of-care ultrasound. A Kansas native and graduate of KU Medical School, Dr. Beck completed her residency at Via Christi Family Medicine and is eligible to sit for the Family Medicine-Obstetrics boards. She also completed the Osteopathic Recognition Track, further expanding her ability to provide holistic, patient-centered care. She is also bilingual in Spanish, which enhances her ability to care for diverse patient populations.

“Dr. Beck's commitment to serving rural communities and her broad skillset in family medicine and obstetrics make her a tremendous asset to our team,” said John Fitzthum, CEO of Community Healthcare System. “Her values align closely with our mission to enrich the health and lives of the people we serve.”

Dr. Beck says her interest in medicine was inspired by her mother, a veterinarian who modeled compassionate care in their small-town community. “I knew early on that I wanted to dedicate my life to serving others—especially those in underserved areas,” said Dr. Beck. “It's incredibly rewarding to walk alongside patients and families through every stage of life, helping them achieve health and wellness based on their personal goals.”

Originally from Eudora, Kansas, Dr. Beck chose to return to her home state after medical training. She and her husband now live in Mayetta with their four children and Husky, Tigr. In her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, playing sports, and spending time with family. The Becks also hope to start a small chicken operation once they’re settled in.

“We’re excited to welcome Dr. Beck to our clinical team,” said Jes Hipp, Director of Clinics at CHCS. “Her warmth, experience, and patient-first approach will be a great benefit to our community, especially in the areas of family care and women's health.”

Dr. Beck will see patients at their Holton and St. Marys Family Health Centers starting in September.
