WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wesley Medical Center is planning to partner with Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri to establish a kidney transplant clinic.

Wesley spokesman Nick Adams tells The Wichita Eagle that though an exact date hasn’t been determined yet, the new Research Medical clinic will likely open sometime next month. He says that both hospitals think there’s a need in the community for the clinic.

Another Kansas City hospital, Saint Luke’s Hospital, opened a kidney transplant clinic in Wichita in August.

Research Medical has performed more than 1,000 kidney transplants. Saint Luke’s has performed more than 1,400.

A nephrologist, or a doctor that specializes in kidney care, with Kansas Nephrology Physicians said another kidney clinic in Wichita offers more options for patients needing transplants.
