Kansas City University said its Joplin students brought hands-on lessons about health care to Columbian Elementary School in Carthage, Missouri. The university’s announcement, published Oct. 20, 2026, said the lessons introduced medical and dental school and covered body systems, healthy habits and health care careers.
The announcement did not provide the date or time of the school visit, identify participating students or staff, or give information about costs or a contact for the activity. Kansas City University listed Joplin and Kansas City phone numbers on its website, but did not connect either number specifically to the visit.
