Janesah Garcia

Patient Care Coordinator

Janesah is a Patient Care Coordinator, is a Lawrence local and attended Lawrence High School. She started working at Kaw Valley Hearing in 2026 and was drawn to the profession because she really likes the medical field and wanted to explore different parts, along with other providers with different professional backgrounds. She has also worked at the local hospital on the Med Surge unit and at a dentist’s office.

What Janesah loves most about saving hearing lives is the reaction on patients’ faces when they can finally hear clearly for the first time and all that they were missing before. She focuses on making sure every patient feels comfortable and leaves happy in her everyday work with patients.

Outside of saving hearing lives, Janesah loves hobbies such as spending time with her husband and son, as well as other family and friends. She enjoys playing co-ed kickball, softball and attending whatever sport her son is in at the time. During the fall, she loves to watch Chiefs football!
