Public Perception Campaign

This statewide campaign, "We Put Our Hearts Into It" has a goal to improve the public perception of health care in Kansas and Kansas hospitals. The umbrella campaign counters negative perceptions with positive messages and targets adults 35+. A subset of this campaign leverages message testing to help Kansas hospitals better position career opportunities within their communities. These assets target high school students (14-17), college students (18-22) and young adults (23-34). Key messages, photos, videos, storyboards, social posts and scripts are available in a shared folder for KHA members. CLICK HERE!
