Bates County Memorial Hospital welcomes new visiting audiology services to patients

Bates County Memorial Hospital (BCMH) is pleased to introduce Minnie Baldridge, AuD CCC-A and Kathryn Grote, MS, now providing audiology services to patients through Bates County Memorial Hospital’s Rehabilitation Services.
 
Minnie has her doctorate degree in Audiology and has over 20 years of experience seeing patients around the Kansas City & surrounding area. Minnie has worked in many Audiology settings to enhance her knowledge in hearing aid technology, diagnostic evaluations and diagnosis of hearing loss. Minnie serves veterans by performing C&P evaluations. Minnie offers a kind and personalized approach to her patient visits. Her goal is to increase access to hearing health care to all people in need of support.

Kathryn Grote is an Audiologist with a passion for helping people by improving their hearing. She is a former leading Regional Representative for two global hearing aid manufacturers and has assisted patients across the Midwest. She realized the need for local care within her community and therefore, founded KC Hearing Center. 

With 20 years of experience in Audiology, Kathy has developed a deep understanding of hearing aid technology and the impacts of untreated hearing loss. She believes that better hearing allows others to enjoy every moment and build memories with loved ones.
 
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Angie Fyffe, AuD, who has provided audiology services to our community for the past six years. Her dedication and expertise have greatly benefited our patients and our community. Angie sold her audiology business located in Belton (Wright Audiology) to KC Hearing Center earlier this summer. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
With this transition, we are very thankful that KC Hearing Center’s owner Kathy Grote made the decision to continue providing audiology services to our community through our hospital.
