Patient Services

Shawnee Mission Medical Center (SMMC) is one of the most preferred hospitals in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Our dedication to improving the health of patients’ bodies, minds and spirits is the cornerstone of our existence and the fuel that has carried us forth on a healing journey that spans more than four decades.  As more patients base their hospital choice on the quality of care they expect to receive, more people – from our community and throughout the region – are making SMMC their destination of choice for health care excellence.

SMMC operates the busiest Emergency Department in Johnson County, including the area’s first accredited Chest Pain Center. We deliver more babies each year at our Special Addition Birth Center than any other hospital in the metropolitan area and our Center for Women’s Health is nationally recognized.

SMMC is proud to support an exceptional staff of more than 700 physicians representing 50 medical specialties – the largest medical staff in Kansas City. Each year, SMMC introduces new procedures and acquires advanced medical technology – often firsts in the Kansas City area – that enable our patients to live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Because of the hospital’s commitment to clinical expertise and the staff’s extraordinary concern for patients, SMMC is emerging as a center of excellence in many fields.
