Don't miss Kylee's heart warming story! 🥹💛💙

Cervical cancer is what led me to have a miscarriage. Losing the baby really amplified the cancer, and I became really sick. I saw a gynecologist at Samuel Rodgers, and she discovered the five-centimeter mass in my cervix. That's when I started my journey.

Hello Dolly!

These soon-to-be parents recently toured our downtown Labor and Delivery unit—and couldn’t resist snapping a selfie with the beloved Dolly Parton!

Well, not the real Dolly—but a fun cutout promoting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which provides free books to children from birth to age five to inspire a lifelong love of reading.

Schedule a tour of our Birthing Centers at our downtown or Lakewood campuses. And don’t forget to grab a photo with the country music icon. In person tours by appointment. For downtown, call 816-404-4966. Lakewood, call 816-404-8281.
