A great community deserves a great hospital From its humble beginnings through decades of expansion North Kansas City Hospital stands today as a beacon of hope and health to those who work and live in the Northland

Humble beginnings
A dream turned to reality for Northland residents when North Kansas City Hospital opened in 1958

The first money raised for the Hospitals construction came from a twoday chili event Organizations and churches pitched in and collected 100005 This event sparked interest in obtaining the remaining funds necessary to build the Hospital

North Kansas City Hospital opened on March 30 1958 with an 80bed facility Flash forward to today North Kansas City Hospital is a 72acre campus comprised of North Kansas City Hospital a 451licensed bed acutecare facility Health Services Pavilion encompassing patient rooms outpatient services offices for Hospital staff physician offices and a conference center Health Center North the location for Home Health Services and NorthCare Hospice and two physician office buildings known as Medical Plaza North and Professional Building North

Decades of expansion
Throughout the Hospitals nearly 50year history a series of expansion projects allowed the Hospital to grow to better serve the needs of a growing community In 1960 20 beds were added 80 more were added in 1963 and an additional 36 in 1968 By this time the Hospitals bed capacity was up to 216 beds

As the population and industrial growth north of the Missouri River continued the Hospital expanded again in 1972 The project added 94 beds including a 24bed behavioral health unit This brought the number of beds to 310

In 1992 five patient floors and a sixth floor mechanical area and meeting room were added to the Hospital tower As it now stands the Hospital building totals 12 floors with all private rooms available to patients

Todays vision for tomorrow
The last construction activity focused on Health Services Pavilion The project added 250000 square feet and 100 inpatient beds with 50 additional beds available for future growth

Six stories were added to the top of the Pavilion for inpatient beds outpatient services and additional physician offices A walkway connects the main Hospital building to the Pavilion on all floors During this expansion nearly 1300 parking spaces were added for employees patients and visitors Other areas within the Hospital also were expanded and remodeled including the Laboratory Surgery area and Emergency Department

From humble beginnings to a bright future North Kansas City Hospital remains the Northlands premier health care facility thanks to the efforts and foresight provided by leaders and citizens of the Northland
