Here to serve you

Big-city capable
Our new hospital brings long-needed, close-to-home care to west Wichita and the surrounding communities. Best of all, it's care backed by whole hospital support. Like our emergency services, with more board-certified emergency medicine specialists than any hospital in Kansas and an experienced team of emergency nurses. And all the resources of Via Christi Health. HealthGrades^®, the independent leader in healthcare ratings, has once again designated Via Christi a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence.^TM That places us in the top 5% of the nation's hospitals.

Small-town personal
For many of our doctors, administrators and nursing staff, our patients are our friends, family and neighbors. From CEO Kevin Strecker to the staff member seeing you to your room, we're here to serve you. You'll feel more at home in the intimate, comfortable community hospital environment.

Treating the whole person
The design of our new hospital was driven by our desire to create the ideal patient experience, whether inpatient or outpatient. Here, you'll find compassionate nurses whose expertise is complemented by their commitment to outstanding service. You'll see more of your care team, too, as your entire medical team makes rounds together, helping you and your family actively participate in decision-making and treatment.

We've also paid attention to the little things. Like getting the meal you want when you want it. Relaxed visiting rules and times. A remote that gives you control of your room temperature and window shades from your bed. And a soothing, biophilic environment that incorporates natural materials and an abundance of natural light. Just walking into the space can lower your blood pressure and calm nerves.

Leading the way
We've incorporated the latest health care technology to provide you with faster, more efficient treatment. Everything from high-definition surgery to networked medical records to smart communications for the nursing staff helps us deliver patient-centered care designed to help you achieve the best outcomes possible.

Via Christi quality, Via Christi care
As special as our new hospital is, it's made even more so by being part of Via Christi Health, the largest provider of health care services in Kansas. This network of hospitals, specialized care centers, medical research and training, and outstanding caregivers delivers a lifelong continuum of care.

At the heart of the community
Our faith-based mission of compassion and service has inspired our ministry of care in Wichita, the surrounding communities and throughout Kansas for more than 100 years.
