PODIATRISTS IN THE COMMUNITY - PART 1

KS Podiatrist to Receive KWU Alumni Award

 

Kansas Wesleyan University (KWU) has announced the winners of its 2025 Alumni Awards. Being honored this year with the Alumni Service Award is David B. Laha, DPM ’79.  The award will be given at the Hall of Fame Induction and Alumni Association Award ceremonies at 9 a.m. Oct. 25, during Homecoming. A Biology major, Laha graduated with honors, laying the foundation for his medical career. He was a prominent figure in KWU athletics, excelling in basketball, track, and cross country. His dedication to these sports earned him induction into the Jerry Jones Kansas Wesleyan Athletic Hall of Fame for all three sports.

 

Dr. David Laha

 

Dr. Laha established his podiatry practice in Overland Park, KS in 1985, where he has since become a respected specialist in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot. His expertise in reconstructive foot surgery and sports medicine of the lower extremity has made him a leading provider of care in the Kansas City area. He served from 2012 to 2020 on the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts and was the first podiatrist to hold the position of president of the board, from 2017 to 2018.
