Default Look-Up Function

I am having difficulty using a look-up function. Here is the formula I'm
using:

=LOOKUP('Nurse Finders'!A2,Lookups!E$3:E$35,Lookups!F$3:F$35)

I've used this formula many times without problems, however in this
particular application it is not returning the correct results. I think the
problem is this. In the first set of lookups (E$3:E$35), a partial list is
as follows:

Gilbert Hospital
KP - Antioch
KP - Bellflower
KP - Fontana - ED
KP - Santa Clara
KP - Walnut Creek
Northern Arizona

The second lookup (F) has the corresponding city for each of the facilities
listed in the first lookup (E)

On the page where the interepreted results are displayed, it is not
accurately listing the cities. Is this because the first lookup (E) has
facilities that are all named "KP - *" and it can't sort through this
properly? If so, is there a work around?

Just as an FYI, the original data is imported from an association and then
being formatted to import to our data base so the best possible solution is
one that does not involve manually changing the names of the facility as we
import on a weekly basis.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
