(Mar. 15, 2024) – As they say "the early birds of spring are the ones that get the worm." In this case, the early Kansas Hospital Association Political Advocacy Committee donors have come through in a big way, and we commend them for their commitment to the KHA-PAC! A huge thank you goes to our early donors as we kick off our 2024 PAC campaign. The hospitals that have met their 2024 goal include:
- Jewell County Hospital, Mankato
- Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, Seneca
- Smith County Memorial Hospital, Smith Center
- FW Huston Medical Center, Winchester
Additionally, we want to recognize APS for their generous contribution to the KHA-PAC. APS increases contracting efficiency and reduces overhead costs for members by coordinating the research and development of product and service contracts. Based on the purchasing power of our members, our experienced team negotiates agreements with local and regional vendors, and then passes along superior pricing, terms and conditions. For more information on APS, contact Dennis George.
We also want to recognize and thank the following donors for their contributions in 2024:
- Wakon Fowler, trustee, Pratt Regional Medical Center, Pratt
- Brittni Oehmke, administrator, Hanover Hospital, Hanover
- Cathy Pimple, CEO, Newman Regional Health, Emporia
