(August 7, 2026) – The Kansas Hospital Association, the Kansas Department of Education and the Kansas Board of Regents are hosting the fifth annual Virtual Health Care Career Day on Feb. 17, 2027. During the past four years, this event has enabled hundreds of schools and thousands of Kansas students to learn about 32 health care careers by watching videos from Kansas hospitals and engaging with health care professionals during live Q&A sessions.

We look forward to building on this success in 2027 and are soliciting applications from Kansas hospitals to profile one of the eight featured health careers at the event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2027. See our flyer for the list of featured careers. Selected hospitals will profile a specific health care career in a prerecorded video (see previous videos). Team members in that career will join the event live to answer students' questions.

Interest Form – If you are interested in being one of the eight hospitals to profile a health care career and your team members who work in that field can attend both Feb. 17 and the rehearsal on the morning of Feb. 16, please complete this form to notify KHA of your interest by Aug. 21, 2026.

Register Here – In addition to submitting the interest form, please register for the required webinar from noon to 1 p.m. on Aug. 18, 2026. At least one person from your hospital must attend the webinar to receive additional information and be considered for selection. After the Aug. 18 webinar, selected hospitals will be notified.
