Program area overviews
Public Health
A strong public-health system protects, promotes and ultimately improves the health of all Kansans. We work to strengthen and connect the critical components of this system, to educate Kansans about public health and to address our state's leading health issues.

Policy
As a nonprofit organization, our role in the policy arena is to educate - to ensure that accurate, adequate and readily accessible information is available to public, local and state leaders and policymakers for the purpose of informed decision-making. At the top of the Foundation's list in policy work is the creation of the Kansas Health Institute (KHI), a non-partisan, Topeka-based research organization.

Leadership
The Foundation works to build the skills and the resources needed for individuals to make change possible in organizations and in communities across Kansas. People throughout the state have received leadership training through programs like the Kansas Community Leadership Initiative, Master Facilitators and Fellows. Future work in this area will be strengthened through the Kansas Leadership Center.

Children’s Health
The Foundation focuses its resources in this area on early childhood development, especially its significant connection to literacy and health. Research shows that what happens during the first few years of life makes a lifelong impact, as an investment in early childhood development today can produce major returns to society. By focusing in this area today, the Foundation hopes to help create an environment where children establish healthy behavioral patterns and grow into thoughtful, contributing and healthy adults.

Our Philanthropic Role
The Kansas Health Foundation serves as a philanthropy, not a charity. That distinction translates to different approaches and functions. Charitable organizations primarily exist to address short-term, pressing needs. Philanthropies take a more proactive, long-range view of problems and their solutions.
