(Nov. 3, 2023) – On Oct. 27, at its annual Health Equity Summit, KFMC Health Improvement Partners presented its Health Equity Innovation Award to LMH Health in Lawrence. The summit, in collaboration with multiple state partners, brings together equity leaders and health champions from across Kansas to strengthen and accelerate the shared mission of fairness and optimal health outcomes for all people.

The Health Equity Innovation Award is presented annually to recognize organizations or individuals who have created and implemented new and inventive ways to reduce health disparities and promote health equity in their community. These innovations can include technology-based solutions, community health worker programs, culturally-tailored interventions, social determinants of health interventions, collaborative partnerships and more.

Nominees were evaluated by a panel of independent judges from various sectors that are affected by health disparities and inequities. Other Kansas health care organizations nominated for the award include:

• KAT Residency Program at Heartland Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center, Salina
• Holton Community Hospital, Holton
• Labette Health Diabetes and Endocrinology Clinic, Parsons
  
• Phillips County Health Systems Phillipsburg
• Stormont Vail Health, Topeka
• Sunset Home Senior Living Community, Concordia
