Purpose Statement #1
Overview
Every successful organization has to know its “why.” Our “why” is demonstrated through our three-part purpose statement. Everything we do comes back to these statements, which represent our greatest aspirations and highest goals.
The first component of this purpose is:
- Empower Kansas to lead the nation in health.
Rankings exist showing the healthiest states in terms of health outcomes. We consider America’s Health Rankings to be a useable proxy. And, when it comes to Kansas, the rankings outlook is not great. During the past 20 years, Kansas has slipped in these rankings. We used to be ranked 8th in the early 1990s. Right now, we’re ranked 29th. That’s unacceptable, and we must do something to change it.
