Dr. Eyan Roth’s career has come full circle. Roth recently started work as a general practitioner at NMC Health Family Medicine-Hesston, returning to his hometown and even a place where he used to work as a teen. The 2012 Hesston High School graduate used to work in housekeeping at Schowalter Villa in Hesston when he was in high school, and when he was in housekeeping, it was all women and three high school boys employed in that department. In college, Roth was a CNA there. When he worked there, Roth remembers seeing the doctors do their rounds. “Looked forward to the day I would do something like that,” he said. Last week, which was his first week at the Hesston clinic, Roth did rounds at Schowalter with Karla Hostetler, APRN. “I’m excited,” he said. “It was fun to be back in the building. It’s also kind of weird because I still picture myself as the housekeeper/CNA. It’s fun to have this new role.” At the clinic, he’ll see patients throughout the week, will do rounds at Schowalter and colonoscopes at NMC Health in Newton. Roth also grew up going to a pediatrician in the same building at which he’s now working when it was Mid Kansas Family Practice. Roth moved back to Hesston a couple of months ago. He has a wife, Hannah, and a 2.5-year-old daughter and one on the way. Hannah is a physician’s assistant in Wichita.
