(August 2022) – The Kansas Hospital Association has taken an intentional approach to dedicate resources to highlight the significance of voting and the implications of the federal and state elections. We CARE We VOTE is a statewide initiative to empower and educate health care employees and volunteers (including trustees) about voting during the 2022 elections. The campaign encourages participation in the 2022 elections. Together we can make the voice of the industry heard through the We CARE We VOTE campaign.

Customizable resources are available for download at WeCareWeVote. This campaign also shows elected officials and candidates that we care – for our patients, our communities, as well as our local and state economies.

In addition to customizable resources, we released a short video and a podcast with Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab who outlined the importance of voting and the steps required to register to vote. In the podcast, Secretary Schwab shared how his agency has taken measures to ensure our voting process is secure and reliable, as well as how they are recruiting digitally savvy young people to assist in the election process. This is all part of a movement to ensure the integrity of the voting system and to motivate the next generation of voters.
