Information on the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplantation Fellowship at the University of Missouri–Kansas City/Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute.

Advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE) at Saint Luke's are scheduled in two or three month blocks. The block contains multiple rotations so that a student generally spends a month on one practice site before switching to a new practice site for the next month.

Saint Luke’s one-year postgraduate Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship Program is designed to help strengthen, advance, and expand clinical nursing skills.

The Saint Luke’s Health System is committed to on-going professional growth of its employees and community. We offer preceptorships to advanced practice students and graduate nursing students

When Maribeth Kammert first learned she had cancer in 2015, her world came to a stop. It was early stage breast cancer. “I was at Beauty Brands with my mom when I got the call. I went into the bathroom because I didn’t know how I would react. I didn’t cry,” said Maribeth. “I just had this instinct that I was going to take care of it, and God was going to take care of me. And if the outcome wasn’t what I wanted, I’d be okay with that.”

For three decades, breathing troubles followed James Seymore as he and his wife moved from one place to another. In 1980, he received his first diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis in Wyoming. The inflammatory condition can cause shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue, and joint pain. His first bout resolved after a course of steroids, but it returned seven years later after the Seymores moved to Oregon.

After Susan Rushing suffered a stroke and lost control of her left side, she trusted the team at Saint Luke's for her rehabilitation care.

The first time Beth Foote had a seizure, she had no idea what was happening. She was in her 30s and had gone her whole childhood and young-adult life without any significant health issues. The Centerview, Missouri, native was rushed to the nearest hospital’s Emergency Department where doctors ran a series of tests before clearing her to go home. But it wasn’t long before she had a second.
