Harlan Holste, Chairperson

A native of Rawlins County, Harlan returned to the family farm after completing his degree in Animal Science from Kansas State University.

They have three married children, all graduates of KSU, who reside in Golden, Colorado, and Manhattan, Kansas, and one wonderful granddaughter, Hadley, five months of age.

By using a common sense approach and keeping our eyes open for new opportunities, we can add to our strengths and keep RCHC a place where residents will turn to in their time of medical needs.

Phil-Studer-S

Phil Studer

A lifetime resident of Rawlins County, Phil feels that giving back to the community is important. Serving on the RCHC Board since 1989 has allowed him to do that. Being on the hospital board has turned out to be a very rewarding experience. Sandy and Phil have served on many boards and participated in many community activities.

Raising and educating their three children, David, Mary, and Mark, in Rawlins County has shown Phil the importance of a viable community with good health care, education, and opportunities for 4-H, scouting, and other activities available. We have created a community with employment opportunities that can attract young people.

After farming in Rawlins and Thomas Counties for fifty years, Sandy and Phil retired and turned the farm over to David. They are now able to travel, visit children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Phil is an RCHC Board of Trustees representative on the Rawlins County Hospital Foundation Board.
