Sidney Health Center is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Devon “Fritz” Kuhlmann, DO, to its medical staff. Dr. Kuhlmann will start seeing patients in the Primary Care Clinic the week of January 12, 2026 and provide coverage in the Emergency Room on a rotating basis following the onboarding process.

Dr. Kuhlmann is a family medicine physician with a strong background in rural and emergency care. He completed his Family Medicine Residency through Sutter Health’s Amador Rural Program, where he served as Chief Resident, gaining broad experience in adult and pediatric care, inpatient and outpatient medicine, and emergency medicine. He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Western University of Health Sciences – COMP Northwest in Lebanon, Oregon, and his undergraduate degree from Western Washington University.

Before pursuing a career in medicine, Dr. Kuhlmann served in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman with the Fleet Marine Force, providing medical care in high-risk and resource-limited environments. His diverse training and procedural experience allow him to bridge the gap between primary care and emergency medicine—an important asset for rural communities.

“Dr. Kuhlmann’s training in primary and emergency care aligns well with the needs of rural healthcare,” said Jen Doty, CEO of Sidney Health Center. “By living and working in the community, he adds another layer of continuity and access to care across both clinic and emergency settings.” 

“I am passionate about rural healthcare and providing accessible, comprehensive care close to home,” said Dr. Kuhlmann. “I look forward to building relationships with patients and becoming an active part of the Sidney community.”

The public is invited to meet Dr. Kuhlmann during a Professional Building Open House located at 1405 4th St SW in Sidney on January 16 from 1–3 p.m. Community members are encouraged to tour the newly remodeled Pediatrics and Outreach Clinics and learn more about services available at Sidney Health Center.
