Built for Kids™
Help light the way for kids
One in five young people in the U.S. has a mental health disorder, and in Kansas City over 40 percent of those kids don’t get the help they need. That’s why Children’s Mercy launched Illuminate, a 5-year, $275 million plan, to address this youth mental health crisis through early intervention, equitable access, expanded services and research. We need your help. Learn how you can help light the path forward.
Let’s grow! Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas starts expansion in 2025
As kids’ health needs grow, so do our services to help. We’ve listened to families who asked for improved access to our expert care. The expansion will also consolidate services and introduce new clinical programs. The first phase of the project is already underway, with additional phases to come over the next four years.
Share a Cup of Comfort
Send a comforting cup of coffee from The Roasterie Cafe to a mom or caregiver who needs support at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. It’s a small but meaningful reminder that she’s not alone.
