Saint Luke's College of Health Sciences is a nursing school associated with Saint Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Missouri that has graduated 3,500 nurses since its founding in 1903 in its Bachelor of Science in nursing program.
The school traces its history to All Saints Hospital at 10th and Campbell Streets in Kansas City that opened in 1885 with a nursing school opening in 1887.
