Children's Mercy Kansas City

On the eve of the 20th Century, two sisters, each with a big heart and an indomitable will, set out to care for Kansas City’s neediest children. They began with one little girl. Then they helped a couple more children, and then a dozen … With no help from public subsidies or insurers, they treated all comers. That’s how Alice Berry Graham and Katharine Berry Richardson started an institution that has grown into a part of the soul of Kansas City: Children’s Mercy.

Mission:
Children's Mercy is a leading independent children's health organization dedicated to holistic care, translational research, breakthrough innovation, and educating the next generation of caregivers.

Together, They transform the health, wellbeing and potential of children, with unwavering compassion for those most vulnerable.
