Olathe Health

Psst! The annual Parade of Hearts is once again on full display throughout the Kansas City area, including the Olathe Medical Center campus. This year, we're honored to announce the entrance of Olathe Health Cancer Center is home to the "Caregivers" heart. Hearts will remain on display until Mid-August, so stop by and snap a photo!

It's #NationalVolunteerWeek, and we're celebrating every one of our 225 Olathe Medical Center, Miami County Medical Center and Hospice Ambassadors (volunteers). Please join us in thanking them for everything they do to make our community a better place!

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT | Stacey Knauss, RN, integrated nursing care manager, was named Olathe Health's Outstanding Associate for Q1 2024. Despite her high caseload, Stacey always remains professional and approachable. From the moment she meets patients in the discharge planning process, Stacey ensures they have adequate resources and assistance to make discharge successful. Please join us in congratulating Stacey on this well-deserved recognition!
