The Silver City Health Center provides affordable, high-quality primary
care, in-depth clinical evaluation and a range of program-specific health
services to English and Spanish-speaking residents of Wyandotte and
Johnson counties. The Center provides access to medically indigent and
underserved patients who have needs for proper primary health care and
health education resources.
Silver City Health Center has been operated by the University of Kansas
School of Medicine since 1997. On July 1, 2006, Silver City Health center
began a collaborative arrangement with the Schools of Medicine, Nursing
and Allied Health. In order to improve ongoing operations, KU
HealthPartners, Inc. (KUHP) now manages Silver City Health Center. While
primary care services continue to be provided by physician residents,
expanded primary care and specialty programs tailored to specific health
disparities in the Wyandotte County safety net are now being complemented
by nursing and allied health specialists.

outreach services through participation in community and school projects,
