More than 60 years ago, local founders of Olathe Health envisioned a responsive and responsible healthcare provider to the families in our communities, a continuum of compassionate competent care that would span every stage of life. This indigenous healthcare startup thrived in native soil, growing from a modest 30-bed hospital in 1953 to a vital regional health network today that serves five counties through Olathe Medical Center, Miami County Medical Center, the 38 family care and specialty clinics of Olathe Health Physicians, and a roster of more than 300 physicians and 2,600 associates. Today, the Olathe Health purpose remains steadfast: respond to our communities, their families and their healthcare demands with the highest possible level of medical professionalism, advanced technology, and professional care. Remaining independent and locally owned in today's prevailing trend to healthcare conglomerates requires deeply rooted sensibilities and an unwavering dedication to the healing arts. These qualities drive the Olathe Health commitment to be the heart of high-tech care. This is the promise that shapes every decision, every action, every day.
