About Us
Welcome to Swope Health
Swope Health has provided quality primary health care, dental care and behavioral health services throughout Greater Kansas City for over 55 years. We are a patient-centered medical home, nationally recognized by National Committee for Quality Assurance for our commitment to an integrated model of health care. We are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and The Joint Commission.
We opened in 1969 as Model Cities Health Corporation, part of President Lyndon Johnson’s Model Cities program. Our first clinic was in the basement of Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church. That first year, with 20 employees and a $100,000 budget, we served more than 2,000 patients. Today, Swope Health has grown to provide care for more than 52,000 patients annually in western Missouri and eastern Kansas. We are the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in the Kansas City region and a Federal Tort Claims Act-deemed facility.
