An organizing meeting of the Alliance for a Healthy Kansas will be held tonight in Hays.

“(We need) to expand our KanCare program in a way that benefits not only our most vulnerable citizens, but also the Kansas economy,” says Tom Bell, president of the Kansas Hospital Association.

Many western Kansas dentists, including Dr. Melinda Miner of Hays, are in support of expanding KanCare.

Now more than ever, policymakers in Topeka need to hear from us about how expanding KanCare (the state’s Medicaid program)  is crucial to our state’s economic future — and how it will help over 150,000 Kansans access health care.

The Alliance for a Healthy Kansas is planning pizza, politics and planning events so Kansans across the state can learn about what KanCare expansion actions we should take before session starts in January. We need you to join us.

What: Expand KanCare Community Forum
When: Wednesday, December 14, 2016
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Where: Sternberg Museum, Expeditions Meeting Room @ 3000 Sternberg Drive, Hays
