The University of Kansas released its 2009 annual report today.

The report, which can be viewed online here, outlines the hospital's accomplishments during the year.

"Our commitment to teaching and learning is also evidenced by our partnership with the University of Kansas Medical Center in support of its educational and research missions," said Bob Page (President/CEO) and Robert Honse (Chairman of the Board) in a letter. "In particular, we have joined with the university in its quest for National Cancer Institute designation for The University of Kansas Cancer Center, to reduce the burden of cancer across Kansas and the region. Our hospital also is sharing resources and expertise with health care providers across the state to improve the health of all Kansans through efforts such as our Surviving Sepsis collaborative program."

Among the hospital's highlights this year: dedicated its Cancer Center, being ranked number two in the country in quality by the University HealthSystem Consortium and its technology improvement in areas of breast cancer and tumor care.
