Every Baby. Every Time
At NMC Health, we’re working to make great starts happen across rural Kansas.
In just the last three years, NMC Health delivered 1,515 babies. We birthed new families from 29 Kansas counties and 102 zip codes. Families trust us, and we take that trust seriously.
That’s why we’re launching a new and innovative Maternal-Child Simulation (SIM) Lab and Training Center. This is a proactive investment in the future of families and healthcare. Our new hands-on center will provide real-time and realistic simulations, helping nurses, physicians, EMS teams and other rural providers refine their skills.
The need is now
Maternity services are becoming less available in some rural areas. This training space will help prepare providers to respond when every moment matters. We want all providers to be ready – and we’re making that happen together.
NMC Health delivers a lot of babies. That’s why we believe every family deserves to welcome their little one surrounded by a confident, well-prepared team like ours. That’s what you’d want for your child or grandchild — and that’s what we want for every family.
Will you help us cross the finish line?
Just like our babies, this important project has already had a great start. Thanks to a grant from the Patterson Family Foundation and the generosity of our staff and lead donors, we’ve raised $323,000 toward our $550,000 goal.
Together, we can bring this vision to life — Give today! Your gift helps give providers the tools they need so every baby has the safest possible start.
