Our Innovation Story

The Children's Mercy Center for Pediatric Innovation was established in 2015 to help bring innovations to life. The Center's goals are to advance our mission, build our reputation and create new sustainability models/revenue streams. CMKC collaborates with global strategic partners to deliver solutions that create a world of wellbeing for all children.

CMKC has been at the forefront of innovation since our founding sisters Alice Berry Graham and Katharine Berry Richardson felt compassion for Kansas City’s neediest children. Innovation starts with empathy and solving for deep needs, which continues to be at the heart of the employees at CMKC driving them to innovate new solutions to transform the health, wellbeing and potential of children.
