Our Story

More than 60 years ago, the idea for a community hospital began with a grassroots effort and a two-day chili event that raised $1,000. The event sparked community interest, and additional construction funds poured in. Those seeds of change gave way to open North Kansas City Hospital, which today stands as the Northland’s preferred healthcare provider.

Over the years our community has always been our biggest champion and there is no greater example of that than during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, local companies and grateful patients donated in appreciation of the quality care provided by NKCH physicians and staff.

Now, as our organization looks to the future, we are excited to spark that community spirit once again as we start NKCH’s first Philanthropy Department.

Together, we will transform patient care in the Northland, allowing us to expand programs, purchase state-of-the-art technologies and equipment, and save more lives.
