Sabetha Community Hospital is pleased to announce the appointment of Kelli Ulrich, DPT, as the new Director of Rehabilitation Services.

Ulrich steps into the leadership role following the successful tenure of former Director Brian Voos, who played a pivotal role in expanding and strengthening the hospital’s therapy services.

I hope to continue to provide quality care while supporting our patients, staff and community. We’re fortunate to have a community that values local healthcare, and I’d love to see our therapy department continue to grow alongside it.”

Ulrich brings extensive clinical expertise and advanced specialized certifications to her new position. She earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Kansas Medical Center and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Gerontology from Kansas State University.
