The KHA-PAC Has Extra Reason to Be Thankful This Year – YOU DID IT!

Join the Herd Lead the PAC CR (Nov. 22, 2024) – The Kansas Hospital Association Political Action Committee has an extra reason to be thankful this year. We reached our two-year $168,000 fundraising goal ahead of Thanksgiving. As our KHA staff goes around the Thanksgiving table this year, we will be saying a special "THANKS" for all of the support of our member hospitals who made this audacious goal possible!

As a reminder, we challenged our hospitals to Join the Herd and Lead the PAC this election cycle, and that's precisely what you all did! You led us to forge beyond our two-year goal as we head into 2025. Our hospitals and individual contributors who helped realize this goal will be recognized at events throughout 2025. We look forward to celebrating this outstanding achievement with our members!

State and federal governments pay for more than half of Kansas hospital care and regulate 100 percent of our activities. Those are the main reasons why the work of the Kansas Hospital Association and its political action committee, KHA-PAC, is so important. Elected individuals with a passion and understanding of hospitals' unique role in their communities are critical. Your contributions to the KHA-PAC are used to support those who champion our issues.
