Our Mission

With our KU Medical Center partners, our mission is to optimize the health, development, and well being of children and their families through excellence in patient care, education, research and operations.

At The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), Department of Pediatrics, our #1 priority is “Your Child”. Our commitment to clinical excellence is delivered in a caring environment, combined with innovative research to benefit your child and your family. The KUMC Pediatrics department has become a hub for pediatric specialists who work together as a team to provide your child the best care possible.

Our team of clinical nurse specialists, psychologists, social workers, dietitians, respiratory therapist, physical therapist, occupational therapists and educators all join with the Physicians to deliver a “whole person” approach to medicine. This approach to medicine is extremely important to those children who suffer with chronic diseases.

We aim to provide high quality well-child care to keep your child healthy and developing to his or her potential. We also aim to provide high quality care using a team approach if your child is diagnosed with a serious illness or injury. Our goal is to ensure that even very sick children can continue to play, learn, grow and succeed.

We are very proud of our commitment to serving the needs of our community and surrounding areas. That is why no child is denied care at KUMC Pediatrics because of their inability to pay.
