Swope Health Services
Overview
Swope Health Services, formerly Swope Parkway Health Center, seeks to help develop self-empowered, healthy people in healthy communities by providing primary health care, outreach and behavioral health services throughout the greater Kansas City area. Annually more than 55,000 patients are served through eight clinic and residential treatment locations. More than 90 percent of patients live below the poverty level.
As a critical part of the Kansas City safety net of care, Swope Health Services provides medical care to people who have no other access to care. By providing primary health care, immunizations and prevention, Swope Health Services helps relieve area hospitals of the burden of providing expensive emergency care to uninsured patients. Services are provided on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay and family size. No one in need of attention is turned away.
Swope Health Services provides adult medicine, pediatrics, family practice, ob-gyn, dental, optical services, radiology, and pharmacy. Behavioral health services include children and adolescent services, crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment and prevention, parenting training, psychological testing, and school-based services.
Swope Health Services is a federally-qualified health center (FQHC), a community mental health center, and has received the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
