It’s hard to describe, but it’s key to luring business and talent By Emily Behlmann

Top: Travis Russell, partner in Public at the Brickyard, says he thinks an urban, diverse culture is on the rise in Wichita. Bottom: Michael Carmody and Angie Mallory, co-owners of The Donut Whole, say they’re trying to create a community center, not just a doughnut shop.

Ilex Gelpi came for a job. She grew up in Wichita, and when she got an offer after college from Koch Industries (she’s now at Koch Carbon), she wasn’t too excited about returning to her hometown. Five years later, her attitude has changed. She’d argue Wichita is pretty cool. She and other young professionals say they see something of an emerging “cool” culture in Wichita. “It would be a challenge for me to leave,” Gelpi says. But not all her friends see it that way. When she and her husband tell acquaintances in places like Kansas City where they live, the sentiment is sometimes “I’m sorry you live in Wichita.” That sort of reputation can be problem for businesses trying to recruit and retain talent. Jim Money, executive vice president at The Specialists Group, recruits for a living. He says it sometimes takes bringing a can-

Gregg Marshall for mayor? Some say yes Gregg Marshall is a basketball coach by trade, but some in the Wichita area think he might be suited to be an elected official, too. The head coach of Wichita State University men’s basketball team, fresh off an appearance in the Final Four, isn’t seeking political office, but he’s getting votes just the same. This week, Wichita City Council member Pete Meitzner gave Marshall his vote to be the city’s vice mayor. It was really Meitzner in the running for that role, and the six other members of the council voted for him. But Meitzner cast his own vote for Marshall. Marshall also received votes to be the mayor of Bel Aire. David Austin, the director of development for the Marshall Orpheum Theatre, ran unopposed for that seat — congratulations, Mr. Mayor — but he says that he learned that three of the 16 votes cast against him were write-ins for Marshall. The Sedgwick County Election Office doesn’t publish the names of people who received write-in votes, but my hunch is that Marshall’s name has appeared on that line in other races as well. THE ‘IN’ THING? Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa seems to be a popular plan for Wichita’s thrill seekers. We’ve written about several businesspeople over the past year who’ve set their sights on conquering Africa’s tallest mountain. Here’s another. Jack Marvin, a banking and financial services attorney at Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP, recently took on the 19,340-foot beast and won. “I think more than anything, it’s one of the iconic mountains in the world,” Marvin says. Marvin has a group of friends he goes on these excursions with, including Old Town developer Dave Burk and Tom Trusdale, formerly with First Gear. Marvin’s mountain climbing has taken him all over the world, and he has climbed 33 peaks that are 14,000 feet or higher. Marvin is also a marathon runner. He’ll participate in his sixth consecutive Boston Marathon on Monday.

BILL WARREN GIVES HIS PEOPLE TOP BILLING

JOHN STEARNS / WBJ

The Heritage Restaurant at 4551 S. Broadway reclaimed its place as the state’s top lottery retailer last year, the Kansas Lottery reported this week, selling nearly $1 million. Keno accounted for over half the sales, at $555,000, data shows. Scratch-off tickets were next at $304,001. Heritage is no stranger to the top rung of lottery retailers, having outsold every other retailer in six of the last eight years. It was No. 2 in 2004 and 2011. But its recent sales are less than half what they were a few years ago. Owner Michael Choi says the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, about 10 minutes south of his restaurant, has cut into his business since it opened in December 2011, particularly his keno business. “That hurt me bad,” he says. But he believes a sour economy over the past few years and the ban on smoking in restaurants also have contributed to sales declines.

Here’s a look at Heritage’s lotter y sales since 2004 2004 ...................................................... $2,276,415, No. 2 in state. 2005 ....................................................................$2,397,420, No. 1. 2006 ....................................................................$2,514,324, No. 1. 2007 ....................................................................$2,452,799, No. 1. 2008 ....................................................................$2,374,181, No. 1. 2009 ....................................................................$2,461,202, No. 1. 2010 ....................................................................$1,875,976, No. 1. 2011 .....................................................................$836,018*, No. 2. 2012 .......................................................................$992,209, No. 1. * IN 2011, HERITAGE WAS FORCED TO CLOSE FOR THREE MONTHS BECAUSE OF A FIRE.

“I invest in my people just as much as I invest in my properties. And I would tell you that my people are more of an asset than my properties are. I can build the nicest theater going — I think we build nice theaters — but they’re absolutely worthless if I don’t have the right management and the right people to run them and to take care of my customer base.” “I worry more about my customers and the quality than I do my cash flow. ... I know that getting into the mind of my customers and trying to do what’s best for them on the long term will pay off.” — Bill Warren, Warren Theatres, sharing some business lessons at the Wichita Independent Business Association luncheon Tuesday (For more on his talk, visit www. http://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/blog/2013/04/warrentheatres-owner-keeps-upping-ante.html).

Espresso To Go Go, a coffee business operating out of an Airstream trailer, is opening a brick-andmortar location at Douglas and St. Francis downtown. That means it and another coffeehouse, Mead’s Corner, will be a block from each other. My thoughts: The more brew options the better. It works in Portland and Seattle. Warren and Ann Tandoc, the Espresso To Go Go owners, say moving and parking the beast of a trailer has been difficult, not to mention paying for all the gas to power it and a generator. They say they can pay for 10 to 15 hours of rent for the same amount it costs them in gas to run the generator three to five hours. Their new store, on the ground floor of the Zelman Lofts building, could open about mid-May. Look for a very large disco ball to hang prominently from the ceiling. They weren’t sure it would fit through the door, but it did. (Now where’s John Travolta when we need him?) Jeremy Luginbill, principal at Lifeboat Creative advertising agency, will also occupy Zelman’s ground floor. “It’s perfect,” he says. “We’re sandwiched in between coffee and some of the best lunch food in town.”

Shockers’ historic run is bittersweet for one longtime fan We spent last week looking for stories about how Wichita State University’s run to the Final Four affected the city and the university. We talked about the business implications of it all and about those traveling to support the team on its journey to the Final Four. We shared pictures and video as we went, too. It’s clear that this magical run — which many agree ended one game, and two wins, short — had a profound personal effect on many longtime Shocker fans. I had the pleasure of talking to one fan in particular during the April 7 welcome-home rally at Charles Koch Arena, and it was clear that the team’s run to the Final Four was bittersweet for Lily Rodriquez. Sweet because she has been a season ticket holder since 1974 and has supported the team through good times and bad. Bitter, she said, because her husband, Ray Rodriquez, wasn’t here to share in the experience. Ray Rodriguez had been a season ticket holder for basketball since the 1960s. He died two years ago this month at the age of 73. Lily showed me some pictures of her husband on her cell phone and shared how Wichita State dedicated a bench in his honor in the concourse behind Section 120 — a tribute to his lifelong dedication to the Shockers. “Everybody here at Wichita State has been wonderful,” Lily said.

NCAA Final Four runs aside, Wichita doesn’t necessarily have a reputation for its coolness, as we note in the centerpiece story on the front page this week. Still, when I asked our readers this week to send me their thoughts on businesses that make Wichita a cooler place to live, I got a lot of responses. Some of you sent me long lists of cool places. Your contributions fell into three main categories. First were hangouts — fun and interesting places that are unique to Wichita. Some of them serve food sourced locally. Some have a wide beer selection. Some have funky decor or items you can’t find anywhere else. No chain restaurants or retailers came up here. Some of your most commonly mentioned responses: The Anchor, Tanya’s Soup Kitchen, Taste and See, the Donut Whole, Mead’s Corner, Public at the Brickyard, the Monarch, the Flying Stove, Watermark Books, Picasso’s Pizzeria, River City Brewery, The Vagabond. Second were cultural destinations — places that add music and art to the city. Common responses: Fisch Haus Art Studio, the Wichita Art Museum, the Orpheum Theatre. Third are businesses that fill a fairly ordinary role, like advertising or floral design, in a creative way. Common responses here were Sullivan Higdon & Sink, Beards Floral Design, Burly Studios, the Labor Party, the Spice Merchant and Integrated Media Group.

CONSIDERING THE ALTERNATIVES The Wichita City Council signed off Tuesday on a contract for a feasibility study to help determine whether Wichita Transit’s buses should be run on compressed natural gas. Here are some details of the study: Who’s doing the study? Small Arrow Engineering, Joplin, Mo. How much does it cost? $67,875. Who pays? A Federal Transit Administration grant will pay 80 percent, and Wichita Transit will pay 20 percent. What will the study consider? • Capital cost of converting the fleet to run on CNG. • Cost and required features of a CNG fueling station. • How CNG costs would compare to diesel and other fueling options. • Potential problems with using CNG. • Opportunities for implementing CNG in other city vehicles. • Timeline for implementation. When will study be done? Goal is sometime this summer. SOURCE: CONTRACT AND OTHER CITY DOCUMENTS.

Shocker fans help make Final Four weekend in Atlanta one to remember If you’ve been following me on Twitter or checking the Wichita Business Journal website recently, you probably know I had the good fortune of being able to travel with Wichita State University fans this past weekend to Atlanta for the Final Four. And though the Shockers fell in the semifinal game to the University of Louisville, the majority of fans I spoke with were still able to enjoy their time in Georgia’s capital city. The primary reason was their pride in the way the team had performed. “We’re just so proud of the boys,” Tom Johnson, of NAI Martens, told me. That was the sentiment of all the fans I talked with, both before and after Saturday’s game. But the other reason fans enjoyed their time was that

Atlanta, especially during a Final Four weekend, offered plenty to see and do. In addition to all the activities associated with Final Four, such as the Bracket Town exhibit and free concerts in Centennial Olympic Park, fans found other ways to spend the time. One of the most popular was the Georgia Aquarium, which WSU Foundation President Elizabeth King called a “must see” for anyone in Atlanta. Others took in the High Museum of Art, while many Shocker fans made their way to Turner Field for Sunday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs. Many of the fans I was there with were part of the travel package for the weekend put together by the WSU Alumni Association, which I can attest was done remarkably well

and helped make the experience an easy one for fans to enjoy. And, having spoken to several members of the staff at the Grand Hyatt in Atlanta — the official WSU hotel during the Final Four — I know that Shocker fans, whom they all credited with being gracious guests — helped make a hectic, but exciting, weekend easier for them as well. Traveling back home on Tuesday, there wasn’t a sense of dejection that the Shockers didn’t bring home the title over the weekend. There was a sense that this amazing run is only the beginning for a young team loaded with talent. So, Shocker fans, thanks for helping make this past weekend one I’ll never forget — and here’s to us all doing this again at the Final Four in Dallas next year.

Why is it that the general counsel of a company is always a lawyer and the head of engineering is always an engineer, yet the top sales manager isn’t always a sales person? Sales is the engine that drives a company. No sales = no company. I recently discussed this quandary with my friend Tom Hopkins, who is a Swim sales management rock star. More than four milWith the lion people have attended Sharks Tom’s lively sales seminars. He leads 30 seminars each year throughout the United States and many foreign Harvey Mackay countries. He’s also the author of 17 books, including the sales classic, “How to Master the Art of Selling.” Tom hit hard on these areas of improvement for sales managers: • Preplan sales meetings. Too many sales managers just show up and go through the motions. Tom led the country’s top Coldwell Banker real estate office, and he constantly had an agenda to pass out so sales reps knew exactly what would be covered. He always had some exciting new things because “You have to really sell salespeople on selling each and every meeting.” • Catch people doing something right and praise them. At every sales meeting Tom recognized people who were doing something right. He would try to praise 25 percent of the attendees at every meeting.

don’t wait • Serve as a role model. “Sales managers need to be a shining example of what they want their salespeople to be like,” Tom said. “They need to be truly respected as human beings — the way they live, their honesty, integrity and work ethic. Sales managers need to work harder on themselves than they do on the job of management to become the type of person that their salespeople want to become.” • Emphasize time management. We all have 86,400 seconds in a day. No one has any more or any less. The most successful sales managers are eloquent time planners. • Strive to motivate and train people. Tom told me that the biggest mistake sales managers make is to not get their sales people productive fast enough. He

stressed the need for up-to-date training and having a top-notch library in the office. For example, Tom said when he was in management, he would give a favorite sales book to each new hire with a twoweek assignment to highlight the best ideas on each page. On the last page he wrote that he would treat the person to a nice lunch. Then after two weeks, he would call them into his office and ask if they finished the book. If they said, “Oh, yeah. I finished it all,” and they didn’t mention the lunch, then Tom knew his new hire had a character flaw. I also use books for training, asking reps to share their insights with the rest of the staff. And when we send our sales people to conventions, their assignment is to come back and teach everyone about the concepts at our next sales meeting. • Fire unproductive sales reps. “A good sales manager can’t be afraid to change their people if they can’t change their people,” Tom said. “If you can’t change a person after a 90-day period to where they get their attitude back and are productive, then you have to make a change. Too many sales managers just don’t want to rock the boat.” I always say, it’s not the people you fire who make your life miserable; it’s the people you don’t fire who make your life miserable. Tom added: “If you are not periodically bringing in good, highly enthusiastic new people as needed, your office will plateau as to productivity, which is not what any company wants.” • Be proactive. Tom told me that following a recession, too many companies wait until things are much better before they really get active and go out and take advantage of the market. The top companies start gearing up their sales activities before the cycle turns, so they’re ahead of the competition. Tom said: “When the economy is coming back, the story sales people should be telling their customers is that all indicators by major economists are showing that your market is not only picking up, but it’s getting hot. And we want your company to be ahead of your competition.” Mackay’s Moral: A great sales manager sells his staff on the importance of managing their sales skills.

BY BILL ROY

Paul Attwater likes college basketball. He follows the Big 12 and the Wichita State Shockers, and that’s about it. So when he filled out his brackets this year he had no thoughts of making it far in the Wichita Business Journal’s 2013 Bracket Challenge. “I would have picked me to go out in the first round,” Attwater says. But when the dust settled after Monday night’s NCAA Men’s Championship game, Louisville and Attwater, first vice president at Morgan Stanley, emerged as winners. Attwater defeated Foulston Siefkin Managing Partner Doug Stanley to take possession of the Wichita Business Journal VIP Bracket Challenge traveling trophy.

NCAA championship, and they did, 82-76 over the Michigan Wolverines on Monday. Attwater was competing against Warner Harrison of LakePoint Wichita in his semifinal matchup. The two have been friends since college, and Harrison was the best man at Attwater’s wedding. “I really enjoy it, whereas Warner really took this ... he was in to win, and so this is killing him,” Attwater says. “So that just has made it all the more fun.” Harrison says he’s now screening Attwater’s calls. “Luckily I know all his numbers,” Harrison says. Truth be told, Harrison says, Attwater has not been too hard on him. But he knows that won’t last forever. “It’s coming. It’s coming,” Harrison says. “I guarantee if I would have won, as soon as I got that trophy I would probably go sit in the (Morgan Stanley) lobby and just hold it.” Attwater is glad to have won, but he’d change it all for a Shocker victory. “I would rather lose all my brackets if it meant that the Shockers were playing (in the championship game),” he says. “I couldn’t be more proud of the basketball team.”

ATTWATER’S SHINING MOMENT Stanley was an enthusiastic participant in the VIP Bracket Challenge. He won it all in 2012 and made it to the finals to take on Attwater. He died April 2 after a fight against cancer, and the WBJ decided to let the competition play out with Stanley as a finalist. “My heart goes out to his family,” Attwater said. “It’s obviously a real loss to the city.” Stanley had made it through each round of the challenge and had chosen Kansas to win it all. Attwater had Louisville winning the

Banks in Small Business Lending Fund loaning more; Health reform top concern Community banks that received cheap capital from the federal government increased their lending to small businesses by $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. That’s the second-highest quarterly increase in the history of the Small Busi ness Lending Fund. Con gress created this program in 2010 to stimulate small business lending by provid ing capital to community Washington banks and community development loan funds. The Bureau SBLF capital, which was distributed in 2011, came with Briefs incentives to use it for small business loans. The program isn’t coming Kent Hoover close to its potential — only $4 billion out of a potential $30 billion capital was provided to lenders. But the latest numbers do show the program is working, even if only 332 community banks and community development funds got the money. Business lending at these banks is up by more than 37 percent compared with where it was in 2010. Similarly sized community banks that didn’t get SBLF capital have increased their business lending by only 4 percent. Critics point out that many banks used SBLF capital to refinance their Troubled Asset Relief Program capital — substituting one form of government-provided capital for another. But these banks also increased their small business lending more than banks that didn’t get SBLF money, according to the Treasury Department. More than 80 percent of SBLF participants have increased their small business lending by 10 percent or more since 2010. “SBLF participants are continuing to help thousands of small businesses invest, hire and expand in their local communities,” said Neal Wolin, deputy secretary of the Treasury.

small businesses, according to a quarterly survey conducted for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. More than 75 percent of the 1,332 small business owners/executives surveyed by Harris Interactive said health care reform will make insurance coverage for their employees more expensive. More than 70 percent said the law makes it harder for them to hire more employees. The law’s employer mandate also is keeping some small businesses from growing, the survey says. Under the law, businesses with 50 or more full-time employees must provide health insurance to their employees by 2014 or pay a penalty to the government. To avoid this mandate, 32 percent of small businesses plan to reduce hiring, the survey found, and 31 percent plan to cut back workers’ hours in order to reduce their number of full-time employees. Small business owners’ sour outlook for health care reform is one reason why 79 percent still think the U.S. economy is on the wrong track, according to the survey. Reform supporters say the law should make health insurance more affordable for small businesses by enabling them to shop for coverage through new online exchanges to be up and running in 2014. Implementation of these exchanges is not going smoothly, however. More than 30 states balked at setting them up, leaving that job to the federal government. Now the Department of Health and Human Services has announced that a key benefit of these exchanges for small businesses — the ability of their employees to choose from among a menu of plans — will be delayed until 2015. Meanwhile, other provisions in health care reform are raising the cost of insurance, according to the chamber and other business groups that opposed the legislation. New taxes on insurers and medical device manufacturers, for example, will be passed on to employers and their employees in the form of higher premiums, they contend. Plus, the law requires insurers to offer more comprehensive coverage than many plans now being sold. That coverage will be better, but more expensive. khoover@bizjournals.com | 703-258-0845

Children’s Mercy Hospitals & Clinics of Kansas City sets up permanent clinic in Wichita By JOHN STEARNS

Children’s Mercy Hospitals & Clinics recently opened its first permanent clinic in Wichita, and it expects to grow. The Kansas City, Mo.-based pediatric hospital has operated outreach clinics in Wichita for years, sending specialists here periodically to see patients. But as numbers of patients from Sedgwick County visiting Kansas City climbed, the need for

a more convenient option was clear, says Melissa Novak, director of communications and marketing for Children’s Mercy. Children’s Mercy’s first two Wichita physicians are Dee Spade, specializing in pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, and Michelle Stuart Hilgenfeld, a pediatric nephrologist. Both were hired early last year and worked out of other physician Continued on PAGE 18

Dr. Dee Spade, left, who specializes in pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, and Dr. Michelle Stuart Hilgenfeld, a pediatric nephrologist, and are the first two physicians employed by Children’s Mercy Hospitals & Clinics at its new Wichita clinic. Additional pediatric specialists are expected to join later.

Children’s Mercy Hospitals & Clinics The Kansas City hospital had about 4,500 patient visits from Sedgwick County last year. The new Wichita clinic is seeing about 75 children per week. It’s set up with nine exam rooms.

Children’s Mercy still operates outreach clinics locally for gastroenterology, hemophilia and urology, “and our goal is to get those moved into the new space,” Novak says. Children’s Mercy has started monthly allergy clinics for Wichita as well, using a video link with a physician in Kansas City, Novak says. The clinic also is interviewing for another pediatric endocrinologist, Spade says. She and Hilgenfeld say the ultimate prize would be a children’s hospital some day in Wichita, which would offer a different kind of care than a general hospital set up to serve diverse patient populations.

We have a whole team that sees the child instead of just the endocrinologist.”

SUPPORT NETWORK FOR SPECIALISTS AND PATIENTS Spade and Hilgenfeld say they were attracted to Children’s Mercy for its sole focus on children’s care. Both moved from pediatrics at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita. Hilgenfeld was attracted to Children’s Mercy because of its respected group of pediatric nephrologists. It’s also where she trained. “And to be able to utilize the support of the group is very helpful in maintaining the ability to provide the services that I provide here in Wichita,” she says. “It is difficult to be a solo subspecialist in any arena if you don’t have a connection to a larger subspecialty group.” Children’s Mercy provides that, she says. Spade says the hospital’s support network in her specialty is good for the patient, too. “For instance, for a diabetes clinic, I have a team that goes in and sees the patient,” she says. “I don’t just go in and I do my part and that’s the end of that.

PARTNER, NOT A COMPETITOR Children’s Mercy views itself as a partner with, not a threat to, other Wichita health-care providers, which refer most of Children’s Mercy’s patients. “Now, hopefully, it provides access to those patients a whole lot more conveniently,” Novak says. “We really see it as a complement to what they already do.” Dr. Richard Guthrie, who owns Mid-America Diabetes Associates and specializes in diabetes management and pediatric endocrinology, says he doesn’t see Children’s Mercy as a competitor. He and Spade are friends and seek out each other’s opinions. “Patient care is what’s important,” Guthrie says. “I don’t care who delivers it.” FILE PHOTO

Hospitals, advocacy groups push for Kansas to join Medicaid expansion BY JOSH HECK

EXPANDING MEDICAID Kansas lawmakers are wrestling with whether to expand Medicaid eligibility to include those whose income levels place them below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. It’s at 133 percent now, or $29,700 for a family of four. Here’s a look at some of the cost analysis from a recent study by consultant Aon Hewitt: • Cost with expansion: $1.1 billion. • Cost without: $513.5 million. • Enrollment increase with expansion: 151,203.

Hospitals are urging Kansas lawmakers to agree to expand the state’s Medicaid program, giving an estimated 150,000 more people access to health care coverage. But the Legislature seems to be at an impasse. The House Appropriations Committee is floating a resolution urging lawmakers not to expand Medicaid, citing concerns about committing the state to future expenditures. Meanwhile, House Bill 2032 would authorize the expansion of Medicaid in Kansas, opening the door for the state to receive about $800 million in federal funding over the next three years. As part of federal health care reform, the federal government is encouraging states to expand Medicaid by paying 100 percent of the cost for the next three years. States would pay 10 percent of the cost after that. Hospitals and advocacy groups say the Medicaid expansion would give more people access to a payment system, reducing the amount of care for which providers aren’t compensated. “Some people seek medical care at the highest costs, in emergency rooms, and they are not capable of paying for that service,” says Hugh Tappan, CEO of Wesley Medical Center. “We see those patients and get them treated with inpatient services. That then becomes part of care provided that is unfunded.” Compounding the issue, Tappan says, is that reimbursements in general have decreased, and further cuts are on the way as the federal government begins to phase out disproportionate share payments, which hospitals receive for treating people who are unable to pay their medical bills.

for Via Christi Health, says moving forward with the expansion would lessen the impact of the cuts. Witt says Via Christi, for example, stands to lose about $22 million annually in disproportionate share reimbursements. Expanding Medicaid, he says, would reduce that amount by about $8 million a year. That still leaves $14 million to make up somehow. Others see economic benefits in expanding Medicaid, with the greater access to care creating more demand for health care and more health care jobs. Cindy Samuelson, vice president of the Kansas Hospital Association, says expanding Medicaid would be a way for the state to build on its KanCare program, which outsources the management of Medicaid to private insurance providers. Samuelson says the opportunity is still there to approve Medicaid expansion this year. That’s why her organization and others are urging lawmakers to keep the discussions going and to not close the door on the opportunity to receive federal funding for the expansion. jheck@bizjournals.com | 316-266-6172

Ascension Health relies on local markets to ensure success of system as a whole BY JOSH HECK

ASCENSION HEALTH

With its acquisition of Wichita-based Via Christi Health, Ascension Health continues to expand its presence around the U.S. and strengthen its position as the nation’s largest Catholic health care system. On April 1, St. Louis-based Ascension Health took over Tulsa-based Marian Health System, which had 36 affiliated hospitals and $3.1 billion in annual operating revenue. Marian owned half of Via Christi Health. Ascension already owned the other half. In addition to Via Christi, the Marian deal gives Ascension two other health systems: Ministry Health Care in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and St. John Health System in Oklahoma. All told, the deal increases Ascension’s nationwide footprint by 180 hospitals and clinics. The terms of the deal were kept confidential, but Ascension CEO Bob Henkel projects that revenues will increase to around $20 billion annually with the additions of the three health systems. Ascension reported $16.6 billion in annual revenue in 2012, according to its annual report. Henkel says Ascension now has some 130,000 employees nationwide. The company operates in more than 1,500 locations in 23 states and the District of Columbia. Ascension facilities are most heavily concentrated in the eastern half of the U.S. Observers say Ascension is successful because it is well capitalized and only targets strong hospital systems. “They are very well managed, and they have a great portfolio of hospitals that have turned into cash machines over the years,” says Joshua Nemzoff, president of Nemzoff & Co. LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in health care mergers and acquisitions. Nemzoff wasn’t involved with the purchase of Marian Health, but he has worked with Ascension in the past.

Headquarters: St. Louis. Operations: 1,500 locations in 23 states and the District of Columbia. New additions: Via Christi Health, Ministry Health Care and St. John Health System. Projected annual revenue with additions: $20 billion. Total employees: More than 130,000.

MISSION DRIVEN

FILE PHOTO

Via Christi CEO Jeff Korsmo says being a wholly owned subsidiary of Ascension Health makes both organizations stronger. He says the common theme with Ascension’s acquisitions is that the company aligns itself with hospitals and hospital systems that have high quality operations, both financially and in terms of the level of care they provide. He says the Marian deal fits that profile.

The process to bring Ascension and Marian together was initiated more than two years ago when the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, which founded Marian in 1989, started looking for ways to align with a national partner in hopes of being better able to meet the challenges brought on by federal health care reform. Henkel, Ascension’s CEO, says Marian and Ascension share similar, faith-based missions, with a particular focus on serving the poor and vulnerable. It’s Ascension’s practice to give local health systems local control, and that won’t change with the Marian deal. Systems maintain their local names when they are absorbed into Ascension, and boards of directors are kept intact, Henkel says. Jeff Korsmo, Via Christi’s CEO, says patients may not notice any difference. “I think there will be relatively few changes with those who are delivering care,” Korsmo says. The biggest changes will be in back-office functions, he says, as Via Christi changes out its information technology systems to match Ascension’s. Henkel and Korsmo say those kinds of efficiencies mean more resources and personnel can be devoted to patient care. jheck@bizjournals.com | 316-266-6172

New procedures help some Wichita dentists increase patient volumes By Josh Heck

FILE PHOTO

Scott Palmer’s Haysville dental practice is benefitting from its new location. More room means more dentists and hygienists and more patient visits.

Scott Palmer thought that his dental practice would be better served in a larger space, but moving would come at a big cost. Expanding the existing building wasn’t really an option, so Palmer decided to construct a new building next door. Palmer Dental Group moved into its $1.7 million, 7,000-square-foot space in February 2012 and began working to expand services. Palmer added a dentist — the clinic’s fourth — and a fourth dental hygienist.

He also started offering dental implants in addition to his traditional lineup of dental services. Palmer’s investments have paid off. Patient visits surged in 2012. Palmer rose to third on this week’s list of Wichitaarea dental practices, up from No. 12 in last year’s list. The list is ranked by number of patient visits last year. It appears on Page 24. Palmer’s surge was one of the most dramatic among area dentists. Practice manager Mary Eldridge says the clinic sees about 90 patients per day,

many of whom are treated by dental hygienists, and each of the group’s four dentists sees 10 to 15 patients per day. Other area dental practices say they also are benefiting from increased numbers as more people seek dental implants. At Cambridge Family Dentistry, the top practice on the list, patient visits also rose sharply over the previous year, and we’re told that it’s largely because of dental-implant services. For other practices, increasing patient numbers is simply a matter of adding more dentists and hygienists, increasing the number of patients who can be treated. That’s helped GraceMed Health Clinic serve more patients in 2012, says CEO Dave Sanford. GraceMed, Sanford says, has added two full-time equivalent dental hygienists

as well as two dentists who each serve the clinic one day a week in addition to running their own private practice. Sanford says because GraceMed treats patients who don’t have health insurance, the clinic has been able to serve people who may have lost their insurance either through a job loss or an employer dropping dental coverSanford age to cut costs. But it’s not all good news for area dental practices. Seven clinics reported seeing fewer patients in the past year.

After living in Los Angeles, I missed many things about Wichita. Although Wichita has a lot of the amenities of a large city, the community is very friendly, like what you would expect in a small town. We have excellent schools, sports teams and a great art community, which includes our First Friday, Final Friday and theatre scenes.

What is your favorite Wichita restaurant and why? My Tho on Central. It’s the best pho I’ve tried, and the owners are from My Tho, Vietnam.

PROFILE

Jay Smith President and COO, Intrust Bank

THE JAY SMITH FILE Age: 55. Experience: Peat Marwick (which became KPMG in 1987), in Wichita and New York, 1979-1991; Intrust Bank, vice presidentfinance, executive vice president and chief financial officer, vice chairman, vice chairman and chief operating officer, now COO and president, 1991-present. Education: Bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting, Wichita State University, 1979. Family: Wife, Debbie; daughters, Lindsey, 29, Whitney, 25, Kelsey, 22. Hobbies: Reading, hiking, yard work.

By JOHN STEARNS

The new president of the Wichita area’s largest locally based bank is widely known inside the bank, where he’s worked 22 years, but he may not be as widely known outside it. Jay Smith, 55, has been chief operating officer for the past several years and will remain so while taking over the title of president from Chairman and CEO Charlie Chandler, a move announced last week. Smith, a Wichitan most of his life and a proud Shocker alumnus, sat down with us last week to talk about his new role, the bank, the economy and to share more about himself. Smith had been working as a senior manager for KPMG (formerly Peat Marwick) in New York for three years when the opportunity arose to return to Wichita, home for him and his wife. Q: How did you go from the accounting industr y to the banking industr y? A: When I was at Peat Marwick, I had worked on the audit engagement of what was then First National Bank (which became Intrust in 1993) ... and so I was as familiar I guess as you can be when you’re working for an external accounting firm, not only with the bank, but also with Charlie. ... We wanted to come back to Wichita, and I was fortunate that one of the (KPMG) partners in Wichita had mentioned to Charlie that I was still in New York. And I think as a result of their conversations, I got a phone call from Charlie. ... The Chandlers are great people, and it just seemed again like one of those opportunities where you say, “This probably makes a lot of sense,” and that was my return to Wichita. Q: What might people not know about you? My perception is you’ve kind of been flying under the radar ... at least publicly? A: I don’t know that I’m necessarily under the radar. I’m probably not someone who’s going to pontificate on a variety of issues in a public forum. ... Gosh, I was an accountant. I mean, what can I say? Q: I get the sense you were happy to come back

to quiet little Wichita. A: Both my wife and I are from here. So that was our first experience really to live away from Wichita, and we had some good friends in New York while we were there. But I think for a lot of people, once you leave Wichita and you’re someplace else, you have maybe a better appreciation for a lot of the good things that are here. With both of our families being here, there was a desire to get back. And there are a lot of good things about Wichita, Kansas, that probably a lot of the countr y doesn’t know about. But hopefully they’re finding out about some of those through the Shockers, right? We were ver y fortunate to be able to return. Q: What do you like to do when you’re not overseeing daily operations at a large bank? A: As the girls were growing up, I coached a lot of youth sports, soccer and softball principally. We enjoy hiking in Colorado, working in the yard. ... Both Debbie and I are avid readers, just enjoy being outside. I am not a golfer. There’s a little too much baseball swing in the golf club. My dad and I attend the WSU basketball games and obviously enjoy that a great deal. Q: As a season ticket holder and WSU grad, what are your thoughts over what you have witnessed over the last few weeks? A: You’re excited. You’re proud, and you’re just really happy for both Coach Marshall and the team. You look at the Shockers, and that truly is a team that’s playing on the floor; it’s not just five individuals. You have to admire what they’ve been able to accomplish. And the enthusiasm that they have brought to the city, it’s just wonderful. jstearns@bizjournals.com | 316-266-6176
