- $442.8 million spent. ONE OF THE GREATEST STRENGTHS OF UNIVERSITY HEALTH IS ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE, QUALITY CARE TO ALL ITS PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. AS AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, UNIVERSITY HEALTH (UH) IS THE PRIMARY TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI- KANSAS CITY SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE, PHARMACY, NURSING, AND DENTISTRY. UH CLINICIANS USE A TEAM APPROACH TO CARE FOR PATIENTS WHILE TRAINING THE DOCTORS AND NURSES OF TOMORROW. UH OFFERS MORE THAN 50 PRIMARY, SPECIALTY AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE CLINICS AT ITS CAMPUS IN DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (REFERRED TO AS UNIVERSITY HEALTH TRUMAN MEDICAL CENTER, OR UHTMC) AND AT A LOCATION IN EASTERN JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI KNOWN AS UNIVERSITY HEALTH LAKEWOOD MEDICAL CENTER (UHLMC). UH ALSO HAS A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY-BASED PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICS. UH IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR PROGRAMS IN ASTHMA, DIABETES, SICKLE CELL DISEASE, ORTHOPEDICS, WOMEN'S HEALTH, AND EMERGENCY/TRAUMA SERVICES. IN ADDITION, UH OFFERS SERVICES THAT INCLUDE OPHTHALMOLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, AND ORAL SURGERY. IN FISCAL YEAR 2025 (FY25), UNIVERSITY HEALTH PROVIDED MORE THAN 620,000 OUTPATIENT CARE APPOINTMENTS, WITH ABOUT 176,000 OF THOSE BEING OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE VISITS. THE AMBULATORY CARE CLINICS AT THE UHTMC (IN DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI) AND UHLMC (IN EASTERN JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI) PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY OUTPATIENT PRIMARY CARE, WHETHER A PATIENT'S NEEDS INCLUDE A GENERAL PHYSICAL EXAM OR TREATMENT FOR AN ACUTE MEDICAL CONDITION. MORE THAN 95,000 UNIVERSITY HEALTH PATIENTS ARE LIVING WITH AT LEAST ONE CHRONIC DISEASE. INTERNAL MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ARE EXPERTS IN CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, SPECIFICALLY: HIGH CHOLESTEROL, OSTEOPOROSIS, DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, OBESITY, AND SICKLE CELL DISEASE. CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT ASTHMA AT UNIVERSITY HEALTH, IT IS THE PROVIDERS' GOAL TO OFFER SUPERIOR AND CONSISTENT CARE FOR THE PATIENT WITH ASTHMA, WHETHER IT IS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, INPATIENT UNIT, OR CLINIC SETTING. UH HAS A COMPREHENSIVE ASTHMA PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES ASTHMA EDUCATION TO BOTH OUTPATIENTS AND INPATIENTS. IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE A CONSISTENT CONTINUUM OF CARE, PATIENTS ARE TREATED IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT USING A STANDARDIZED PROTOCOL BASED ON NATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ASTHMA AND ARE REFERRED FOR FOLLOW-UP CARE TO AN OUTPATIENT PULMONARY CLINIC TO HELP BREAK THE CYCLE OF EMERGENT CARE. THIS PROGRAM HAS RESULTED IN A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN ADMISSIONS FOR ASTHMA SUFFERERS. IN FY25, THE UH ASTHMA PROGRAM TREATED ADULT PATIENTS AT 10,184 VISITS AND PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH ASTHMA AT 771 APPOINTMENTS. DIABETES UNIVERSITY HEALTH PROVIDERS KNOW THAT A DIABETES DIAGNOSIS CAN BE DEVASTATING. ABOUT 17,000 UH PATIENTS HAVE A PRIMARY OR SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES.

DURING A CRISIS STATE, THE UH SICKLE CELL CENTER IS ABLE TO TREAT PATIENTS' PAIN MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, IN A QUIET, SOOTHING ENVIRONMENT. PROVIDERS' GOAL IS INITIATING PAIN TREATMENT WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF PATIENT'S ARRIVAL. PROVIDERS, AWARE OF INDIVIDUALS' MEDICAL HISTORY, CREATE A CUSTOM TREATMENT PLAN FOR EACH PATIENT, INCLUDING A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ENCOMPASS LONG-TERM GOALS. THE SICKLE CELL CENTER TEAM SEES THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGIES TO MODIFY THE INDIVIDUAL'S DISEASE WITH THE GOAL OF DECREASING ACUTE PAIN EPISODES AND SUPPORTING HEALTHIER OUTCOMES. THE CENTER ALSO PROVIDES PRIMARY CARE FOR ROUTINE HEALTH NEEDS SUCH AS SORE THROAT, HYPERTENSION, OR DIABETES MANAGEMENT TO THE PERSON WITH SICKLE CELL AND ALSO THEIR ADULT FAMILY MEMBERS.
