A committee of Kansas hospital trustees suggested the Kansas Hospital Association create online resources targeted specifically for Kansas hospital trustees. We hope these resources are helpful to you in your role as a hospital trustee. If you have topics you want us to cover, don't hesitate to let us know by contacting Cindy Samuelson at csamuelson@kha-net.org.

Trustee Accountability and Recognition Program As a response to the need for hospitals to be able to demonstrate their accountability to legislators, attorneys general and their communities, KHA provides a Trustee Accountability and Recognition Program. The program recognizes trustees at the KHA Critical Issues Summit for the standards of excellence they uphold, governance best practices they adhere to, and the education in which they have invested.
