History of the Foundation

Founded in 1924 by Doctors Frank D. Dickson and Rex L. Diveley, the Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedic Clinic brought the specialty of Orthopaedic Surgery to Kansas City. Seventy years later, the physicians of the Dickson-Diveley Clinic continue to deliver state-of-the-art specialty care to its patients. Our mission is to provide competent, compassionate, state-of-the-art orthopaedic care to all patients, without regard to their race, religion ethnic origin or ability to pay, as well as advance the science of orthopaedic surgery through teaching and research.

Doctors Dickson and Diveley were pioneers in medical education in Kansas City. They founded the Dickson-Diveley orthopaedic training program which continues to this day as the University of Missouri-Kansas City Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program. The physicians of the Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedic Clinic are all teachers of the UMKC Dickson-Diveley orthopaedic surgery residents.

Saint Luke's Hospital, Truman Medical Center, and Children's Mercy Hospital are the participating institutions in the UMKC orthopaedic surgery training program. All the physicians hold Faculty appointments at the UMKC School of Medicine and are on the staffs of all three teaching hospitals.

The Dickson-Diveley Education and Research Foundation was founded to help support and foster educational and research programs at Saint Luke's Hospital by the residents and staff of the Dickson-Diveley Clinic.

Grants from the Dickson-Diveley Education and Research Foundation go to support educational and research programs that would not exist if not for this financial support. These programs will eventually lead to improved care of the orthopaedic patient.

Foundation funds are not used for daily operations of the clinic.
