Support Heart Care

As the only academic medical center in the Kansas City region, The University of Kansas Health System cares for heart care patients with the most complex conditions. Our cardiology services provide leading-edge prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care to those who need it most. And even though our patients are sicker than most, they experience significantly lower mortality, stroke, heart attack and infection rates than the national average.

As a not-for-profit organization, The University of Kansas Health System receives no state or local funding. The success of our cardiology services and our ability to save more lives depends on support from generous donors throughout Kansas City and beyond.
