There are nine Spira Care Centers across the Kansas City metro area. Each of these Care Centers offers a variety of primary care services under one roof, including multidisciplinary Care Teams working together to take exceptional care of you. Spira Care was designed with you and your family at the heart of everything they do. Their goal is to eliminate stress, confusion and the feeling of being rushed in and out of your doctor’s office.

There are currently nine Care Centers – Crossroads, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park, Liberty, Olathe, Shawnee, Independence, Tiffany Springs, and Wyandotte.

Spira Care Centers offer advanced primary care services for the whole family including:

• Treatment of common medical conditions and minor injuries
• Wellness appointments, also known as annual physicals or checkups, for infants, children, teens, and adults
  • These appointments can include well-child visits, completing health forms for school or sports, routine vaccinations, and more
• Health screenings to help identify potential health problems early or prevent them all together
• Sick care
• Behavioral health support
• Routine labs, x-rays and more!

Care Guides are personal guides, with nursing and benefit backgrounds, to support you on your health journey. They can help you schedule specialty care needs outside your Care Center and explain benefits. Now you have a single point of contact for both care and coverage questions to help you find the right place, right time and right people to help you on your health journey.
