Building a Strong Foundation

For more than 50 years, AdventHealth has provided in-house behavioral health care—unique among hospitals in Greater Kansas City. But as demand grows, so does the need for expanded services.

In February 2023, we completed Phase I of our $15 million capital campaign—an important step toward our vision of becoming the region’s trusted destination for behavioral well-being.

Here’s what your generosity will make possible:

  • Inpatient Renovation — Creating a more healing, intentional, and welcoming environment on the 6th floor of AdventHealth Shawnee Mission Hospital Tower II.

  • Prairie View Renovation — Expanding outpatient services in a single, dedicated space to improve prevention, assessment, and continuity of care.

This work has already touched countless lives, and we’re nearly halfway to reaching our campaign goal.

Donors also benefit from the Kansas Community Service Tax Credit Program, allowing contributions to go further while providing meaningful tax advantages.

The Future of Behavioral Health

Phase II will build on this progress and allow us to support patients through their entire treatment journey—not just part of it. Today, patients often complete therapy with AdventHealth but must transition elsewhere for long-term care. With your help, we can close that gap.

The future of behavioral health at AdventHealth includes:

  • Expanded Inpatient Services — Renovated spaces designed to support both patients and families.

  • Assessment & Navigation Center — Faster, more convenient access to crisis assessment services across AdventHealth hospitals.

  • Outpatient Clinic — A continuum of care with services like prevention, family therapy, telemedicine, psychological testing, and bio-feedback.

  • Service Line Integration — Seamless connection with other specialties, including cancer, cardiology, neurology, primary care, and obstetrics.

Together, these enhancements will ensure thousands more receive the right care, at the right time, from the right team.
