Reading Leading Health: How You and 30,000 Kansans Can Help Communities Thrive is the first step. Talking about it with your team, your neighbors, your families is where the real work starts. 

The book by the Kansas Health Foundation makes the case that “Health” is bigger than healthcare. It’s everything that affects our ability to thrive. Now, we’re offering three ways you can bring this case to your community.

Host a Workshop

How can your group make a difference in the Health of Kansas?

Led by one of our staff members, we’ll take your group through the book with the goal of moving beyond business-as-usual thinking, challenge  existing narratives and build the partnerships needed to make Kansas the healthiest state in the nation. 

All workshops come with copies of the book for every attendee as well as a workbook to go through the material.

Bring the conversation to your team

Request a Speaker

Do your conference attendees need a new take on what Health really means in Kansas?

Our team is provoking conversations now, not just about Health but about what it means for you, your community and our entire state. We’ll leave your attendees with a copy of the book as well as a definition for the role they play in improving the Health of all Kansans.

Empower attendees at your next event

Start a Book Club

Since the book was published last year, one of the most common requests we’ve received is for information on how to start a book club or discussion group. We’re happy to announce that book club materials are now available.

When you request copies of Leading Health on our website and select “Book Club,” we’ll send you as many books as you need along with a companion discussion guide for each member of your group. This guide will take you through the book chapter by chapter, offer questions for consideration and challenge everyone to examine their role in empowering Kansas to lead the nation in Health.

Access materials to start your book club

While the Health Gap in Kansas is a daunting reality, it’s also a leadership opportunity. We invite you to start by reading the book, and then broaden your toolkit with these resources.
