Dr. Hermesch is a 2020 graduate of the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He will be completing his residency at Smokey Hill Family Medicine in the summer of 2023 and joining NVCH in September.

Dr. Hermesch and his wife, Michaela, are well known in the Nemaha County area. They bring back the sense of “coming home” to ensure the health and wellbeing of our community. “We are very excited to welcome Dr. and Mrs. Hermesch back to Seneca” reported CEO Kiley Floyd.

Per Dr. Hermesch, “My wife, Michaela, and I are very excited for the opportunity to join the practice in Seneca. Having grown up in the area, we both know first-hand the strong sense of community that Seneca and the surrounding area provides. As I pursued my career in family medicine, we continued to be drawn to the idea of practicing somewhere with the same ideals and morals that we grew up with. In Seneca, we have the opportunity to contribute to maintaining the health and wellbeing of the community that has had such a huge impact on our lives, while also allowing our children to be raised with similar influences and experiences.”

The addition of Dr. Hermesch is a result of a two-year recruitment process. “We continue to look to the long-term needs of our community ” noted Floyd. “Dr. Hermesch is a perfect fit for our staff and shares our values and commitment to patient care.”
