We couldn't agree more! We're proud of our partnership with Children's Mercy Kansas City and glad we are just steps away via the Bridge of Hope that connects the two hospitals. We love a great patient update like this one!
Collaborative care across hospitals means better outcomes for mothers and babies with additional medical needs. 🤝 Our long-time partnership and connecting bridge with University Health KC helps moms like Aisha get specialty care at the Children’s Mercy Fetal Health Center (FHC) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) – without even stepping outside. Aisha was pregnant with her third son, Wisdom, when her water broke at 32 weeks. After an evaluation at University Health Truman Medical Center, her care team there connected with our Fetal Health Center team and decided Aisha should be transferred to the FHC for ongoing care. Baby Wisdom had some developmental differences that Aisha’s doctor was monitoring prenatally. However, she kept her focus on the future and leaned on her faith, family and care team to get her through 3 weeks of painful early labor, an emergency C-section delivery, and 3 more weeks in the NICU with Wisdom. Wisdom, now 3 months old, is thriving at home, and Aisha was inspired to give back to Children’s Mercy by volunteering alongside others from the Walker Foundation at our patient prom event. ❤️ 💃 Read more of Aisha and Wisdom’s story: https://cmkc.link/3XIDDDS

As an academic medical center, University Health KC (UH) is proud to collaborate with local high schools and expose students to exciting career opportunities in healthcare. The UH Pharmacy Team recently partnered with Ruskin High School (Hickman Mills C-1 School District) to work with Anatomy and Physiology students on projects such as pharmacy careers. When asked about the experience, Director of Ambulatory Pharmacy Kristi Stice said, “I was so impressed by the quality of the students’ work and the effort they put into their projects. “These young people showed such professionalism presenting on challenging topics. It was such a pleasure to work with them.”
