PROUD HISTORY

The story of the HCA is really the story of Kansas City in the years following Worlds War II. The story of how the challenges facing a growing city were met. These challenges continue today; safer roads and bridges; sports entertainment facilities; KCI; and flood retention structures including the Kansas and Missouri River levies and area lakes.
