EDS Healthcare in Kansas
Kansas does not have an in-state EDS Center of Excellence, but Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri — located just across the state line — is an EDS Society Center of Excellence. The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City also has a genetics department. Western Kansas patients may consider programs in Colorado.
Eastern Kansas residents benefit from close proximity to Kansas City's resources. However, central and western Kansas are among the most underserved areas in the region, with drives of 3-5 hours to reach any EDS specialist. Telehealth is essential for patients in these areas.
