The First District also includes the historic Shawnee Indian Mission, the Helen Cuddy Rose Garden located in Antioch Park, the Sylvester Powell, Jr. Community Center. The 54-acre Shawnee Mission Medical Center is a prominent metro hospital, tending to the health care needs of the First District that employs more than 2,800 local residents. The Shawnee Mission School District has played an instrumental role in furthering the community’s intellectual capital and earning Johnson County the reputation of a great place to raise a family.
