A Heart for Great Bend

Tall, clean cut, fit and engaging, long time Great Bend community leader Mark Mingenback is hard to miss in a crowd. He’s the kind of person that makes friends and acquaintances feel both seen and heard, and it’s simply hard not to like him once you’ve met him. In recent years Mark had been the public face of St. Rose Hospital, previously named Central Kansas Medical Center, up until his retirement in 2016. Before that, the long list of his roles and accomplishments could fill pages.
