editOverland Park Regional Medical Center first opened in December 1978.[2]

Dr. Raymond Brovont, an emergency room physician at Overland Park was fired in January 2017 after raising concerns that low physician staffing levels at the hospital endangered patients. In 2018, a jury awarded him a $26 million dollar judgment for wrongful termination.[5][6]
