Shawnee Mission Medical Center – 50th Anniversary

April 17th is the date for Shawnee Mission Medical Center’s 50th Anniversary at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Jeannette Nichols, J.C. “Jay” Nichols III and Loretta Nichols are the honorary co-chairmen, and Jeanne Olofson is the chairman. Shawnee Mission Medical Center was built back in the 1960′s when members of the New Haven Seventh-day Adventist Church, Dr. Donald Smith and developer Miller Nichols made the dream of building a hospital in Johnson County a reality.
