Exceptional Outcomes, Exceptional Experience

Embracing Families When It Matters Most

There are few more vulnerable or frightening moments than when you or a loved one faces illness. Diagnosis and treatment can be confusing and frightening, which is why The University of Kansas Health System is dedicated to demystifying disease. Patients and their families are fully embraced, supported and comforted while receiving the best medical care available anywhere.

Neither you nor your family should have to go anywhere else for the best medical care available. And today, you don’t have to.

US News and World Report ranks The University of Kansas Hospital as the best in Kansas City and Kansas – the first and only to receive those honors. Eight specialties are ranked among the nation’s best, the most of any hospital in the region. Outcomes for patients are truly exceptional.

Behind the numbers is a culture of care patients remember, as evidenced by these patients’ comments:

“We went elsewhere and were left cold. Here, you feel everyone cares. The entire team is so supportive, your own mindset changes – you become a fighter, because there are all these other incredible people fighting with you. It’s that feeling of being on a championship team.”

“The doctors and nurses are amazing. But it doesn’t stop there – it’s the entire staff. I’ll never forget when someone told me they saved the turkey sandwich just for me, because they knew it was my favorite. Little things like that make all the difference when you’re fighting for your life.”

By supporting The University of Kansas Health System, you will save and improve lives – now and for generations to come. From attracting and nurturing the world’s best doctors, nurses, and other staff, to supporting teams who provide critical, compassionate care, your investment will ensure you and your family members receive access to the best possible treatment, right here at home.

Building a new Destination KU Cancer Center

Cancer touches — threatens — every family. Now is the time to bring boundary-pushing science and real-time treatment together in one remarkable building to save thousands of lives. Hundreds of clinical trials, treatments with enhanced quality of life, and precision therapies are being developed and delivered here in Kansas City. Patients are an incredible 25% more likely to survive when treated at an NCI-comprehensive cancer center like ours. With your investment, someone you love will live because of the The University of Cancer Center.

Building the Brain Health Institute

Six million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. One of the first treatments to slow the disease has been developed here. Now is the time to create a Brain Health Center for families affected by dementia and stroke, Parkinson’s and traumatic brain injuries. Working with doctors across our region, we will provide earlier diagnosis and intervention, enhance caregiver support, and improve care. We will triple the number of clinical trials and patients seen. We will prevent Alzheimer’s as well as treat it.

Attracting the World’s Best Caregivers

Medical care is provided by people, and we want the best here. From residencies that attract the next generation of brilliant doctors to dedicated funds that support nurses’ and other care team members’ well-being, resiliency and safety in the workplace, investments in people pay the highest dividends: superb care.
