"Kansas City established its first public hospital in 1870 on a hill just outside the 20th Street city limit to care for victims of diseases, and to tend to the needs of poor or transient patients. Today a major metropolitan healthcare complex stands on that same hill. Its institutions still care for patients and still guard the public health. In addition, they train doctors, dentists, nurses and other healthcare professionals."
