Wednesday marked the first of several open forums for KU's long range master plan, the first since 1997 and fifth since 1904. The plan, a $1.17 million engagement with Hanbury Evans Wright Vogel and Co., runs through November with focus groups and community meetings to guide West Campus expansion and technology changes. Lawrence architect Mike Myers urged care for the West Campus area, which extends to Kasold Drive and includes substantial undeveloped land.

LMH weighs wellness center at Rock Chalk Park
Lawrence Memorial Hospital leaders said a decision on occupying about 7000 square feet in the city’s 181000 square foot recreation center is likely this summer. A physician group will be convened to refine services including therapy, screenings, and elderly and pediatric care while reviewing revenue potential and avoiding duplication. The board also heard LMH will offer bladeless cataract surgery by March and continues rolling out its da Vinci robotic system, with three surgeons trained and three more in training. A new charity care policy sets patient fees and raises income eligibility to 150 percent of the federal poverty level.
