History

Our History
The Kansas University School of Medicine in Lawrence began as a oneyear premedical course in 1880 and then offered a twoyear course in 1899 It became a fouryear school on April 21 1905 when three private medical schools in the Kansas City area merged the College of Physicians and Surgeons the Kansas City Medical College and the MedicoChirurgical College

In 1906 Dr Simeon Bell donated the land and cash totaling more than 100000 to establish the original Eleanor Taylor Bell Hospital in honor of his wife

That same year the School of Medicine moved into the hospital located on quotGoat Hillquot in Rosedale at what is now Southwest Boulevard and 7th Street in Kansas City Kansas Basic sciences were still taught in Lawrence while clinical studies were taught at the Rosedale facility A School of Nursing was also established in 1906

In the early 1920s the medical school moved south to its present location at 39th and Rainbow and in the late 1940s it was renamed the University of Kansas Medical Center During the 1960s and 1970s all studies moved to Kansas City the School of Allied Health was established and a new hospital officially opened in 1979

The hospital marked an important milestone in 1998 when it became an independent Hospital Authority which receives no state funding The hospitals official name is now quotThe University of Kansas Hospitalquot

A sixthfloor was added to the hospital in 2003 to meet a growing demand for patient services An expanded and renovated Cancer Center and new Breast Center both featuring the latest technology and many patient amenities opened that same year

Also in 2003 construction began on the Center for Advanced Heart Care an expertly designed cardiac complex focused on serving the needs of patients and families from curbside to bedside
