Wesley Healthcare

Wesley Healthcare’s Trauma Department donated more than 100 cable-style trigger locks to the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department Monday as part of a joint campaign with the Wichita Police Department and Wesley Children’s Hospital to raise public awareness of child-involved shootings. The locks will be distributed free of charge and with no identification required, and can be obtained at the Sedgwick County Jail, the Oaklawn Substation or any Wichita Police station, or from any sheriff’s deputy. #FirearmSafety #LockItUp #ProtectOurChildren #SedgwickCounty #Wichita

Dr. Kimberly Molik, a pediatric trauma surgeon at Wesley Children’s Hospital, joined Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan and Sedgwick County Undersheriff Keith Allen at a press conference earlier today to raise public awareness of child-involved shootings, which Dr. Molik identified as the fourth most common injury seen at the hospital. Wesley Healthcare’s trauma department is providing free, cable-style trigger locks to both departments for distribution to area residents upon request. Keeping weapons properly secured is one of the most effective ways to prevent children from gaining access to firearms in the home.

David Jackson of Andover was no stranger to heart issues. Back in 2019, he survived a massive heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery. So when he woke up in pain on March 8, it didn’t take him long to realize that another cardiac event was in progress. Determined to seek care, David made his way to the new Wesley Andover ER, which had opened only a few short hours before. He remembers the sense of relief he felt once he arrived, and within only a few minutes of treatment, the pain was subsiding. Quickly transferred to Wesley’s Hillside campus, David received two stents in one of his bypass grafts and was discharged only a couple of days later. “I’m very lucky the Andover ER was there,” David said. “I can say without a doubt that if they were not there, I would very likely not be telling this story.” Thank you, David, for sharing your story, and well done to everyone at Wesley Andover ER!
