Ascension Via Christi plans new imaging center in west Wichita. Here's where

Ascension Via Christi announced Thursday that it plans to break ground on an outpatient imaging center in west Wichita next year. The $8 million center, which will be called Ascension Via Christi Imaging on West Kellogg, will sit at the northwest corner of 119th Street and Kellogg Drive on the city’s west side, according to a news release. The facility will go in near Ascension Via Christi’s under-construction ER, which is slated to open next year. Ground is expected to be broken for the 6,300-square-foot imaging center early next year. It’s expected to open sometime in 2028. The release said the facility is expected to relieve some of the demand at other Via Christi imaging locations.

Jewish Deli Day will include brisket, challah, face time with Wichita's new rabbi

Once a year, Wichita gets the opportunity to feast on Jewish deli fare like matzah ball soup, challah bread and corned beef sandwiches. The 2026 opportunity happens this weekend at the Wichita Jewish Community Center , 1850 N. Woodlawn. Deli Day , an event by Congregation Emanu-El that’s now in its 60th year, offers plenty of culinary reasons to visit, including full Jewish meals and a la carte baked goods for sale. But, said co-chair Keith Pickus, the event also will give locals the chance to meet the congregation’s new rabbi and to get a rare peek inside the center. “It’s our way of welcoming the community into our building,” he said. “We’re so security conscious, and we have to be. This is a fundraiser for us, no doubt about it. But what’s equally important is that folks from Wichita come in and see us.” This year’s dinner happens from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15. People who buy $25 tickets at the door will each get a full meal that includes a choice between beef brisket with challah bread or a corned beef sandwich on rye. Meals also include a potato side dish, a cup of
