KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Twenty-four young patients from a hospital in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans have been brought to Kansas City, flown in Wednesday night on two Missouri Air National Guard transport planes.

Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City agreed to take the patients, sending a team to New Orleans earlier Wednesday to start arranging the transfer from that city's Children's Hospital. The two hospitals are not affiliated, but Randall O'Donnell, chief executive officer of the Kansas City facility, is a longtime friend of his New Orleans counterpart and offered to do whatever was needed to help.
