Earlier this week, we held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for The University of Kansas Cancer Center in Olathe. Olathe Health began its cancer care program in 1990. By becoming part of The University of Kansas Cancer Center, patients have access to additional cancer care resources and options closer to home. We are excited to celebrate this milestone and see the ways our teams are working together to provide incredible care for our patients!
