The University of Kansas Health System in Kansas City is a world-class academic medical center
and destination for complex care and diagnosis. We offer more options for patients with serious
conditions because of our expertise and leadership in medical research and education. Our
physicians are researchers and educators expanding the boundaries of medical knowledge. Their
major breakthroughs lead to the life-changing treatments and technologies of the future.
As part of an academic health system serving the people of Kansas, the region and beyond, The
University of Kansas Health System will enhance the health and wellness of the communities we
serve. This is our mission.
We are committed to providing the highest quality care to all Kansans – not only in Kansas City, but
across the state and region. It’s our responsibility to extend the reach of academic medicine to
more Kansans so patients can stay closer to home and receive the most advanced care possible.
We’ve been working to fulfill this mission since 1998, when The University of Kansas Hospital began
as an independent authority.
When people get their healthcare close to home, they can focus on healing rather than the many
stresses of travel. That’s why we support keeping care close to home.
We do this by supporting the continued operation of hospitals and clinics and by expanding into
communities across Kansas:
• Main Campus in Kansas City, Kansas
• Great Bend Campus, including Great Bend Family Medicine and St. Rose Medical Pavilion,
in Great Bend
• Indian Creek Campus in Overland Park
• St. Francis Campus in Topeka
• Olathe Health Medical Center in Olathe, KS – Olathe Health joined The University of
Kansas Health System in January 2023. Since that time, we have been collaboratively
planning for Olathe Health to integrate into The University of Kansas Health System in a way
that respectfully supports both organizations’ patients, physicians and employees.
We also keep care close to home by using technology and communication to bring advanced
healthcare services into communities across the state. Examples include:
Investing in technology
Through technology, we can expand our services to patients while they remain in their
communities. For example, people in western Kansas with complex neurological disorders like ALS
participate in telemedicine appointments with neuroscience specialists in Kansas City. These
specialists work with a local care team to assess each patient’s condition and provide ongoing
care.
Providing expert physicians to more communities
Our physicians, many of whom specialize in treating complex illnesses, travel to communities
throughout Kansas to provide care that would otherwise not be available. For example, our kidney
transplant physicians based in Kansas City conduct clinics in Wichita for those who are waiting for
organ transplantation and those who need follow-up care after transplant.
Improving care through The University of Kansas Health System Care Collaborative
Our physicians and other clinicians collaborate with care providers across Kansas through this
network of more than 50 hospitals, plus additional clinics and EMS teams, in 56 Kansas counties.
Together, collaborative members work to improve the health of people living in rural and urban
communities, using evidence-based models of care to improve outcomes and decrease costs.
Care areas include heart attack, stroke, heart failure and sepsis.
Partnering in joint ventures
Our health system partnered with Ardent Health Services to ensure continued healthcare services
for the Topeka area. Together, we purchased St. Francis Health, which otherwise would have
closed, to form The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus. This joint venture also
preserved hundreds of jobs at the hospital.
Acquiring facilities when it makes sense for the communities
In today’s healthcare environment, smaller communities can find it difficult to sustain their local
hospitals. By joining The University of Kansas Health System, hospitals within these communities
ensure access to better healthcare close to home. They also preserve a key driver of the economy
in their community.
As part of the region’s premier academic medical center, we take our responsibility to provide the
best care for Kansans very seriously. As we reimagine healthcare for Kansas City, our region and
beyond, we strive to create innovative ways to give citizens access to nationally ranked care close
to home.
We embraced this mission in 1998 when The University of Kansas Hospital began as an
independent authority. We have driven progress for more than 2 decades and have no plans to
stop.
Our steadfast commitment to healthcare excellence has earned our health system accolades that
inspire confidence in patients and their loved ones. You have choices when evaluating healthcare
options. These distinctions can help you determine which hospitals provide the best care for
routine and serious or complex conditions.
Our recognition includes:
• Earned 4 consecutive Magnet designations from the American Nurses Accrediting Center
for nursing excellence. Fewer than 9% of U.S. hospitals have attained Magnet designation,
and far fewer have earned it 4 times.
• Recognized as a Leader in LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality by the Human Rights Campaign.
Our health system is 1 of 495 healthcare facilities in the nation to earn Leader status.
While we appreciate these honors, they don’t mean our work is finished. In fact, they signify a
journey that is only beginning. They underscore our position and charge to extend leading
academic medicine across the state of Kansas – and beyond.
