Three HCA Midwest Health physicians named to Ingram’s Magazine 2021 Class of Kansas City’s Top Doctors
Overland Park, KS — Three HCA Midwest Health physicians were recently named to the Ingram’s 2021 Class of Top Doctors serving the Kansas City region. Kelly J. Hendricks, MD, orthopedic surgeon, Menorah Medical Center; Research Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Olevia Pitts, MD; and Jaswinder Singh, MD, hematologist-oncologist, Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at HCA Midwest Health, are members of the class.
