Health Reform
Kansas hospitals continue to support system changes that increase access and coverage; focus on wellness and prevention; provide high-quality, affordable care; and harness the power of information technology to make care more efficient. While we advocate for necessary changes to be made to this law, we focus our attention on assisting Kansas hospitals and the communities they serve, as they prepare for the changes embodied in this legislation.
