Osborne County Memorial Hospital(OCMH) and Goad Medical Clinic are pleased to announce
that Katie Crossland, Family Nurse Practitioner(FNP), will be joining the provider team at OCMH
as of June 13, 2022. She will be joining Barbara Brown, DO, Kamel Barakat, MD, and Joshua
Choate, PA-C, in the clinic practice as well as rotating Emergency Room coverage with the other
providers.
Katie was raised on a farm near Park, Kansas, and grew up feeling called to a career in
healthcare. She graduated from Fort Hays State University (FHSU) with her bachelor’s degree in
Nursing in 2010 and gained experience as a nurse in ICU, ER, and flight before deciding to
return to school to pursue her nurse practitioner degree. Katie returned to FHSU and is
graduating with her Doctor of Nursing Practice as a FNP in May 2022. Ms. Crossland will be
joining the staff at OCMH and will begin seeing patients in the clinic in late June. Katie will be
available to see patients of all ages but she is passionate about women’s health and
preventative care. She is excited to continue to serve rural Kansans.
Katie will be moving to the community along with her three children: Rylee (9), Kip (6), and
Kynzie (4), along with their golden retriever, Izzy. When not busy with her children, Katie
enjoys being outdoors, traveling, reading or being at the lake.
