Topeka Community Health Clinic Adds Pediatrician

GraceMed, Topeka’s new nonprofit community healthcare provider, has announced that Dr. Lance Jepson is now seeing pediatric patients at its two Topeka clinics. Dr. Jepson is Board Certified in general pediatrics. He graduated with honors from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in 2011.

“I am excited to be part of the GraceMed team in Topeka and look forward to enriching the health and well-being of the children in our community,” stated Dr. Jepson.

He is now accepting new and established pediatric patients at both the Capitol Family Clinic at 1615 SW 8th Avenue and the Highland Park Clinic at 2025 SE California.

Dr. Jepson accepts KanCare/Medicaid, which includes Sunflower, Amerigroup and United HealthCare, as well as private insurance and uninsured pediatric patients.

Now is a great time to schedule back to school exams and avoid the end of summer rush. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jepson, call (785) 861-8800.

GraceMed, a nonprofit, Federally Qualified Health Center, assumed the management of Topeka’s two community health clinics in July 2016. Founded in 1979 as a healthcare ministry of the United Methodist Church, GraceMed now provides care for one of every five community health center patients in the state. Administrative offices are located at 1122 N. Topeka in Wichita.
