Earlier this month, employees and students on our Kansas City campus gathered for the KU Medical Center spring appreciation lunch. Hosted by the Office of Human Resources, the event featured delicious lunch options from several food trucks, a DJ, yard games and a special appearance from Baby Jay. Thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun! (fb)

As a teen, Madison Witt spent four years battling a chronic pain disorder, which included a lot of outpatient treatment and a program at Children's Mercy in Kansas City. The care she received during that challenging time inspired her to become a nurse. "I love that you can truly make a difference in people’s lives,” Madison said. “I feel like what’s special about nursing is that you can be there for patients in their darkest moments, or moments where they are struggling, and be a sense of support.” On May 17, Madison will receive her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Kansas School of Nursing, joining more than 260 fellow nursing students in the class of 2025. Following graduation, she plans to begin her nursing career at Children's Mercy. Learn more about Madison and the Class of 2025: https://bit.ly/439n9FG (fb)
