Conversations on Rural Health Care and Medicaid Expansion

UMHMF Logo (Nov. 22, 2023) – Join Thrive Kansas and the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund at one of five regional rallies featuring Kansas health resources and conversations on the future of health care in our communities. Each rally will include:

  • Round-table discussions on the changing health care landscape and what Medicaid expansion can, or would, mean to rural areas and your community
  • Resources and programs available to Kansans now, and where to find help
  • Opportunities to enroll in services and programs (local navigators will be present to assist)
  • Ways you can take action to improve the health of your community
  • Lunch or dinner

A strong health system is critical to the future of rural Kansas communities. As Kansas and health care changes and more Kansans become uninsured, our health systems and communities face increasing challenges. At the meetings, they will discuss the changing landscape of health care in Kansas, the importance of Medicaid expansion to rural communities and, most importantly, share resources and programs available to Kansans now. They also will provide an opportunity to enroll in programs and to take action to improve the health of your community.
