Wichita-based Galichia Heart Hospital working to be medical tourism destination

Wichita, KS-based Galichia Heart Hospital hopes to expand its medical tourism program through a contract with AWAC, a Georgia medical management company. Galichia has begun offering some procedures, such as heart bypasses or hip replacements, at a deeply discounted fee in an effort to lure business. The new contract will expose nearly 1 million potential customers to the hospital, said Galachia officials.
