The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus (KU Topeka), formerly known as St. Francis Health Center, is a for-profit hospital and branch of the University of Kansas Medical School in Topeka, Kansas, United States. It was founded in 1909 by the Catholic organization Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. In 2017, the University of Kansas Hospital took over operations of the hospital from SCL Health in partnership with Ardent Health. The purchase was finalized on November 1, 2017.

Since 2006, KTPK has hosted the Miracle Marathon for Kids Radiothon for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN) at St. Francis Health Center. The radiothon takes place annually at Topeka's West Ridge Mall during a week in August. It is a fundraising event that also shares stories of sick and injured children. The radiothon has raised significant amounts of money each year, with a record-breaking year in 2009 raising over $105,000. It remains the largest fundraiser of the year for the local CMN.
