Arrowhead Stadium

What Arrowhead Stadium does

The University of Kansas Health System is an independent nonprofit academic medical center headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas, operating as the clinical teaching arm of the University of Kansas Medical Center. It delivers a full continuum of care across more than 1,500 physicians and 200+ specialties, anchored by regionally unique tertiary and quaternary programs: the only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center in the region (with Kansas's first proton therapy center), the region's only ACS-verified Level I Trauma Center (since 2000), the region's largest solid organ transplant program (kidney transplants since 1969, liver since 1990), a high-volume maternal-fetal medicine program with 3,000+ fetal procedures, and a Magnet-designated nursing workforce. Care is delivered across multiple hospital and clinic sites spanning the Kansas City metro area plus Olathe, Lawrence, Topeka, and Great Bend.

The technology stack underpinning operations is conventional third-party healthcare-IT rather than proprietary IP: EpicCare Link for EHR and referring-physician integration, Nuance PowerShare for radiology image sharing, the MyChart patient portal for self-service scheduling and e-visits ($30 flat fee), and telehealth video/telephone visit infrastructure. Advanced clinical technology includes the proton therapy system, a 25,000-square-foot Center for Transplantation, and Angel Eye NICU cameras for 24/7 parental viewing.

Revenue is generated through clinical patient services (inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgical, imaging, lab, pharmacy), physician professional services, transplant services, CME programs, pharmacy (5 retail locations plus home delivery), and philanthropic donations. Pricing is largely insurance-based across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payors. Distribution is multi-modal: enterprise physician-relations and a transfer center (877-738-7286) for B2B referrals, direct-to-consumer urgent care and emergency access, and self-serve digital channels (MyChart, telehealth). The system is privately held as a public hospital authority under Kansas law and is not publicly traded.
