Clay County Medical Center is pleased to welcome Danielle Wurtz, DO, to the medical team! She will begin seeing patients at Clay Center, Linn, and Glasco Family Physicians in December.

With over eight years of experience as a primary care physician, Dr. Wurtz is a doctor of osteopathic medicine who is passionate about preventive care, obstetrics, and caring for families as a whole. She earned her medical degree from Rocky Vista University of Osteopathic Medicine in Parker, CO, and completed her residency at Wesley Family Medicine in Wichita, KS.

“I was drawn to medicine later in my education,” Dr. Wurtz shared. “While I initially planned to pursue a career in biochemistry, I realized that I needed a more personal connection with my work. That’s when I discovered my passion for primary care, and it’s been my calling ever since. Every day, I’m motivated by the opportunity to empower patients and build strong, trusting relationships.”

Originally from Barnes, KS, Dr. Wurtz graduated from Linn High School. She is the daughter of Nikolas and Melodie Sedivy and is married to Seth, who grew up in Clifton, KS. Together, they have three children: Clara (12), Isaac (10), and Abel (6).

Austin Gillard, CEO of Clay County Medical Center, shared his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Wurtz to our team. Her commitment to patient-centered care and her dedication to community health align perfectly with our mission to provide quality, compassionate care.”

We are confident that Danielle Wurtz, DO, will be an invaluable asset to our practice, and we are excited for patients to experience the exceptional care she provides. If you haven't had the opportunity to meet Dr. Wurtz yet, we encourage you to call (785) 632-2181 and schedule an appointment soon.
