Wesley Medical Center

What Wesley Medical Center does

Wesley Medical Center, founded in 1912 and headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, is a full-service acute care hospital and the flagship of the Wesley Healthcare network, a wholly-owned HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA) subsidiary. The network delivers nearly 400,000 patient encounters annually to families across Kansas and Northern Oklahoma through a flagship adult hospital, Wesley Children's Hospital (the region's only dedicated children's hospital and only Level II pediatric trauma center in Kansas), Wesley Woodlawn Hospital & ER, three freestanding emergency rooms (West, Derby, Andover), Wesley Birth Care Suites, a 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation center, an outpatient imaging center with 3D mammography, and multiple WesleyCare primary care clinics.

The technology layer is anchored by the MyHealthONE secure patient portal (web and mobile), which enables health record access, appointment scheduling, bill payment, and pre-registration; an ER check-in mobile app with average wait times; a surgery text-messaging service for real-time family updates; and telemedicine-enabled stroke and behavioral health coverage. Patient-facing technology is provided as part of HCA Healthcare's enterprise stack rather than as proprietary Wesley-developed systems. Underlying clinical capability is delivered through Joint Commission-accredited facilities, over 60 pediatric specialists, an ACGME-certified emergency medicine residency in partnership with KU School of Medicine-Wichita and CarePoint Health, and embedded specialty programs such as the Structural Heart Program and Sarah Cannon Cancer Center.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery billed to patients and accepted payors including Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City, Cigna, Claritev, First Health, Humana, Sunflower Health Plan, TriWest Healthcare Alliance, United Healthcare, Wichita Preferred Provider Association, Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, and Workers Compensation. Revenue is generated across emergency care, surgery, maternity, pediatrics, diagnostics, rehabilitation, oncology, and specialty services, with CMS-compliant price transparency and Good Faith Estimates for uninsured patients. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the regional facility network, with supporting community classes, social media channels, and a nurse-staffed Consult-A-Nurse line.
