Will Walker, NP, Returns to DCH CORE Center as DCH reshapes orthopaedic service line

Daviess Community Hospital is pleased to announce that Will Walker, NP, will return to the CORE Center as an orthopaedic nurse practitioner beginning Monday, May 4, further strengthening the hospital’s growing musculoskeletal service line encompassing orthopaedics, interventional pain management, and surgical podiatry.

Walker, a longtime member of the DCH family, originally joined the CORE Center’s Orthopaedic team in November 2022 before serving patients in cardiology at the DCH Specialty Clinic. His return marks an important step in the continued expansion of musculoskeletal services at the CORE Center.

“I’m excited to return to orthopaedics at the CORE Center,” Walker said. “Helping patients recover from injury, manage joint pain, and regain mobility is incredibly rewarding. The collaborative team here makes it possible to provide coordinated, patient-centered care that truly improves quality of life.”

Located at 421 E. Van Trees St. in Washington, the CORE Center brings rehabilitation therapies, orthopaedics, pain management, podiatry and advanced imaging together under one roof. Orthopaedics and sports medicine services, as well as pain management and podiatry, are located on the second floor, where patients receive expert evaluation, non-surgical care and, when necessary, surgical coordination close to home.

His return coincides with the reshaping of services at the CORE Center, including DCH’s partnership with Tri-State Orthopaedics to provide pain management and surgical podiatry on site. By consolidating these services in one location, DCH is enhancing convenience and coordination for patients seeking relief from musculoskeletal conditions.

“The CORE Center was designed to provide comprehensive care in one convenient location,” Walker said. “From same-day X-rays to therapy and specialty procedures, patients don’t have to travel far to receive high-quality orthopaedic care.”
