AdventHealth Shawnee Mission
Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Inc. (doing business as AdventHealth Shawnee Mission) is a non-profit hospital campus in Merriam in Johnson County, Kansas, United States owned by AdventHealth. The medical facility is a tertiary, psychiatric hospital, and teaching hospital that has multiple specialties. The hospital operates facilities in Lenexa, Olathe, Overland Park and Shawnee. It became part of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation in November 2002.
In 1955, local leaders, medical professionals from the Johnson County Medical Society, and members of the New Haven Seventh-day Adventist Church in Overland Park, Kansas, came together to address the developing population's healthcare needs in Johnson County. J. C. Nichols donated land by Interstate 35 to the church for a medical facility. In 1961, the 102-bed nursing home, Pleasantview Health and Vocation Institute opened, later the facility was known as Shawnee Mission Health Center. In May 1962, the church opened Shawnee Mission Hospital with 65 acute care beds and two operating theaters. In 1966, an additional 70 acute-care beds, as well as more space for expanded diagnostic and therapeutic services were added.
In 1971, Shawnee Mission Hospital was renamed Shawnee Mission Medical Center, and increased the number of beds to 187. In 1972, ownership of the hospital was transferred to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and it was placed under the direction of the Central (now Mid-America) Union Conference. The bed count at the time was 241, and due to the urgent need for acute care, these beds were converted to acute care beds in January 1975. By 1982, the total number of acute care beds had risen to 383. New maternity, cardiac care, women's services, and outpatient facilities were added in 1991 and 1992. In 1996, Shawnee Mission Medical Center became affiliated with Saint Luke's Health System.
On November 1, 2002, Shawnee Mission Medical Center split from Saint Luke's and became a part of the Altamonte Springs, Florida-based Adventist Health System.
In 2008, construction workers began building a $114 million, eight-story patient tower that added 265,000 square foot (24,600 m2), it would include a new emergency department, cardiac care unit (CCU), intensive care unit (ICU), surgery floor, and main entrance. The emergency department was tripled in size and capacity, and four operating rooms were added. In late January 2009, the patient tower opened and the last two floors were completed in early March 2011 for $20 million.
In early December 2011, construction workers began building a 90,000 square foot (8,400 m2) birthing center to replace the older birth center on the hospital campus. On February 27, 2013, there was a grand opening of the new Shawnee Mission Birth Center, which tripled the size of the previous birth center. It opened to patients the next day. A 24-bed Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with private, single-family rooms was included in the expansion. In early April 2013, construction began on the ground floor of the Santa Fe medical office building for a $5.5 million outpatient cancer center. On January 2014, the Shawnee Mission Cancer Center opened to patients, it offered oncology, infusion therapy and radiation therapy. On March 12, Shawnee Mission Medical Center announced that their network of facilities would adopt the name of Shawnee Mission Health.
On June 22, 2015, construction workers began to renovate the cafeteria at Shawnee Mission Medical Center for $25 million, it was expected to be completed in the fall of 2016. Another $10 million would be spent to update equipment.
On March 22, 2016, the foundation of Shawnee Mission Health started a philanthropy campaign to raise $15 million for the B.E. Smith Family Center. Doug and Nan Smith were the first to give a grant for the construction of the new family center. On June 7, 2017, a grant of $1 million was donated by the Hall Family Foundation for the new family center. In March 22, 2018, construction workers started building the B. E. Smith Family Center on the hospital campus. On August 6, 2018, there was a topping out for the family center. On April 30, 2019, the 62 square foot (5.8 m2) building opened to house its Britain Development programs for children with developmental disabilities and Early Learning programs for children of employees at AdventHealth Shawnee Mission. The building is the first in the world to have the Variety KC Compass harness system.
