Registration is now open for the third annual Kansas Health Equity Summit, to be held October 30, 2024, in Wichita, Kansas!

KFMC and Kansas Healthcare Collaborative co-hosted a health equity webinar, "Addressing SDOH in Rural Kansas Communities" on April 30, 2024. This was the second in a series of webinars discussing how we can all work together to address health inequities in the state. If you missed the webinar, it is now available here.

As we begin this new year, I am reflecting on what we heard from the Kansas community through the 2023 Health Equity Summit so we can continue to address the complexities of health equity, inspire meaningful change, and set a precedent for inclusive, collaborative efforts. Let us continue to challenge assumptions, break down barriers, and work collectively toward a future where health equity is not just an aspiration but an undeniable reality for all.

KFMC and the Kansas Office of Primary Care and Rural Health, a program of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, co-hosted a health equity webinar, “Food Security in Kansas: Cross-sector Innovations,” on January 30, 2024. If you missed the webinar, it is now available here.
