Sebelius urges lawmakers to back off KUMC affiliation provisions
Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius urged the legislature to avoid micromanaging the Kansas University Medical Center planned affiliation with St Luke's Hospital. She supported the regional alliance to advance KU's status as a national cancer center, while House and Senate budgets consider measures requiring major approvals or finance council review before any deal.

KU Medical Center and KU Hospital outline guiding principles
Details of proposed ties include boosting hospital funding to 42.5 million next year with 6 million for faculty pay and 39.5 medical residents, and linking future increases to net patient revenue. KU Physicians Inc. will become independent from the School of Medicine, merging with KU Hospital staff into a single doctors' group with equal board representation. Director actions preserve department heads at KU main campus and limit St Luke's from claiming academic affiliation.
