We are committed to improving the health of all Kansans and to best do that, we've outlined a three-part purpose statement and six key strategies to achieve this goal.

Three-Part Purpose Statement

We aim to help Kansas lead the nation in health, eliminate health disparities, and be THE model for philanthropic impact.

Six Key Strategies

We will focus on supporting institutions, empowering partners, mobilizing those in authority, fostering a health-centric ecosystem, aligning resources, and cultivating an impactful culture.
