Improving access to health care for Kansas children

Focus Area Description

Work in this area focuses on ways to break down the barriers that inhibit children in Kansas from receiving the health care they need. This is the Foundation’s newest focus area and early efforts have focused on finding ways to promote enrollment and retention in the State’s Children’s Insurance Program (CHIP), known in Kansas as HealthWave.

Focus Area Goal

Increase the number of Kansas children who have adequate health care services and coverage.
