Ascension Via Christi

Ascension Via Christi is a nonprofit Catholic healthcare system in Kansas that operates hospitals, outpatient clinics, specialty centers, and related care sites under the Ascension network. The organization provides emergency care, primary care, surgical services, cancer care, cardiovascular care, women’s health, rehabilitation, and other hospital-based and ambulatory healthcare services. It is not a biotech or drug-development company; rather, it is a care delivery organization with clinical research capabilities through Ascension Via Christi Research. Ascension Via Christi serves Kansas communities through multiple hospital campuses and a broad physician network, with particularly strong operations in Wichita and Manhattan. The system is part of Ascension, one of the largest nonprofit Catholic health systems in the United States.
