Stormont Vail Health is an extensive medical facility in the city of Topeka, Kansas. The facility provides a nonprofit hospital and integrated health care system for Shawnee County and the northeast Kansas region.
The name derives from two earlier Topeka facilities, the Jane C. Stormont Women's Hospital and Training School for Nurses and Christ's Hospital (founded by Bishop Thomas Vail), both established in the 19th century. These two hospitals were combined in 1949 to form the Stormont–Vail Regional Medical Center. When the regional center merged with the Cotton–O'Neill Clinic in 1996, the governing foundation adopted the new name Stormont–Vail HealthCare, and this was shortened in 2016 to Stormont Vail Health.
