Empowering the Greater Kansas City Imaging Community

ABOUT US

The Greater Kansas City Echo Society was founded by echocardiography professionals with a mission to connect and support the local imaging community.

By fostering knowledge sharing among local institutions, we strengthen clinical practice and apply cardiovascular imaging advancements. Through continuous collaboration and lifelong learning, we aim to elevate regional echocardiography and ensure high-quality, patient-centered care.

Our team includes dedicated cardiac sonographers and physicians from leading healthcare institutions across Greater Kansas City. Drawing from The University of Kansas Health System, Saint Luke’s, AdventHealth Shawnee Mission, the Veterans Health Administration, and Children’s Mercy. We are a multidisciplinary group committed to clinical excellence and advancing echocardiography.
