ENT Services Available at Clay Center Family Physicians

Updated: Jul 8
Clay County Medical Center (CCMC) is pleased to announce that ear, nose, and throat (ENT) services are now being provided from the new Clay Center Family Physicians clinic location.

Dr. Eric Purdom has served patients throughout the Clay County region since 2012, providing specialized ENT care for more than a decade. With this transition, both Dr. Purdom and Carissa Horton, PA-C, have officially joined the CCMC team.
“This is a great step forward for both our patients and the hospital,” said Dr. Purdom. “I’ve been fortunate to care for patients in this community for many years, and I’m excited to continue doing so now as part of the CCMC family.”
Patients experiencing sinus issues, ear infections, hearing loss, tonsil concerns, and other ear, nose, and throat conditions can receive expert care close to home.
“We’re here to offer the same high-quality care patients would receive in a larger city, but with the comfort and personalized attention of a small-town clinic,” said Carissa Horton, PA-C.
The addition of ENT services supports CCMC’s ongoing commitment to expanding specialty care access for residents throughout north-central Kansas.
“This is an exciting development for our community,” said Austin Gillard, CEO of Clay County Medical Center. “Having Dr. Purdom and Carissa Horton officially join the CCMC team means patients will receive coordinated care, better access to scheduling, and a seamless experience from diagnosis to treatment. We’re continually looking for ways to bring more services closer to home, and ENT is an important part of that vision.”
Appointments for ENT services are available by calling (785) 630-2481.
