Whether someone needs a simple MRI or a pediatric urologist, the Wichita medical community has you covered.
Wichita's healthcare sector ranges from healthcare systems like Wesley Medical Center, an HCA facility, and Ascension Health, to specialty hospitals and clinics and everything in between.
HCA Wesley Children's Hospital
The University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita’s mission is to educate students, residents and physicians through patient care, service, research and scholarly activities to improve the health of Kansans. KU School of Medicine opened the Wichita Campus in 1971 to provide hands-on clinical training to medical students in their third and fourth years. In 2011, it expanded to a full, four-year campus.
