Urgent Care in Wichita, KS

Wichita is the largest city in Kansas and the seat of Sedgwick County, with about 390,000 residents in the Arkansas River valley of south-central Kansas. Known as the 'Air Capital of the World,' Wichita is the global hub of general aviation manufacturing — Spirit AeroSystems (Boeing 737 fuselages), Cessna/Textron Aviation, Beechcraft/Textron Aviation, and Learjet are all headquartered or have major operations here. The city's economy is diversified across aviation, agriculture, energy (Koch Industries is headquartered in Wichita), healthcare, and education (Wichita State University, Friends University). Wichita's Old Town entertainment district, Keeper of the Plains sculpture at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers, Intrust Bank Arena, and the Botanica Wichita gardens are major landmarks. The metro area has a population of approximately 650,000.

Healthcare in Wichita is anchored by two major competing health systems. Ascension Via Christi — the larger of the two — is a Catholic not-for-profit system operating St. Francis Hospital (the flagship, Level II Trauma Center), St. Joseph Medical Center, and Via Christi on St. Teresa. Wesley Medical Center (HCA Healthcare) is the region's only Level I Trauma Center and a major teaching hospital affiliated with KU School of Medicine Wichita. KU School of Medicine-Wichita is the main clinical training site for the University of Kansas Medical Center's regional medical education programs. Walk-in and urgent care is provided by Ascension Via Christi Clinic urgent care, Wesley-affiliated urgent care, NextCare, AFC Urgent Care, Concentra (occupational health for the aviation workforce), and numerous independent clinics serving Wichita's blue-collar and suburban communities.
