However, Kansas City-based University of Kansas Health System and Nashville, Tenn.-based Ardent Health Services’ joint proposal to acquire the hospital has left students and faculty wondering if the partnership will continue.

A spokesperson for KU Health System told KSNT News the partnership issue “[is] still being decided.”
