Building Healthy Communities: Affordable Strategies for Health Care Execs – Nov. 6

KAHCE Logo (Nov. 1, 2024)—The Kansas Association of Health Care Executives is hosting a virtual educational event from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

Health care organizations exist to serve the communities in which they reside. Though community health has always been a focus for these organizations, new regulations require them to take an active role. The health of a community or geographic population has a critical impact on a health care organization's planning, operations, financial sustainability, outcomes and success.

Because the key components of health care reform will be implemented through legislation, it will be even more critical that provider organizations are aware of and responsive to the health status and disease states most prevalent in their communities. A population-based focus is not only the right thing to do, but it may also be a financially astute course of action.
