Augusta & Butler County Medical Supply Hub – Flint Hills Energy & I‑35 Readiness
Augusta sits east of Wichita along US‑54/400, supporting Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital (El Dorado), Ascension Via Christi, Wesley Woodlawn, Augusta Air Ambulance, the Keystone pipeline corridor, Butler County Community College, and the Walnut River industrial belt. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #346 at 719 W 7th Avenue keeps hospitals, refineries, aviation shops, and school clinics supplied without sending couriers into Wichita traffic.
Within 20 minutes are Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital, Wesley Woodlawn, Via Christi St. Teresa, Augusta Municipal Airport, the HollyFrontier refinery, Butler County EMS posts, Boeing Spirit aerosystems feeders, and El Dorado Correctional Facility. Tornadoes, refinery turnarounds, El Dorado Lake floods, and Walnut Valley events demand rapid logistics. “Medical suppliers near me” for Butler County now means this 7th Avenue hub.
Augusta’s legacy includes Santa Fe rail shops, the Whitewater oil boom, and Route 66-era aviation. LAC Health honors that mix with refinery-grade PPE handling, bilingual documentation, and ICS-ready caches tied to Butler County Emergency Management.

Flint Hills & Oil Patch Heritage
Augusta boomed with oil in the 1910s, fueled WWII aircraft factories, and today services aerospace, pipelines, and the Kansas Turnpike. Floods (1951, 1998), 1991’s Andover tornado, and the 2022 refinery turnaround highlighted the need for local caches. LAC Health maintains generator-backed refrigeration, elevated shelving, and signed agreements with Butler County EMA.
Butler County Demographics
Population ~68,000: 85% White, 6% Hispanic/Latino, 3% Black, 2% Native American, 2% Asian, 2% other. Large commuter population to Wichita, plus refinery, aerospace, and agricultural workforces. Local staging saves 30–60 minutes each trip compared to Wichita warehouses, critical during storms or Turnpike closures.
Licensing & Compliance
Kansas Board of Pharmacy wholesale license, DEA Schedule II–V, FDA/IRB handling, Joint Commission/DNV alignment, OSHA/NIOSH refinery safety, FEMA ICS/NIMS, HIPAA/HITECH, DOC vendor approval, and Butler/Sedgwick mutual-aid agreements.
