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, are so important. Elected individuals who have a passion and understanding of the unique role hospitals play in their communities are critical. Your contributions to the KHA-PAC are used to support those who champion our issues. We appreciate our PAC donors. We couldn't do it without you! Visit the KHA-PAC website for additional information, including suggested contribution levels. If you have questions about the PAC or how to get involved, please contact Tara Mays at (785) 969-9270.
