(February 2025) – More than 130 hospital leaders and advocates from across the state convened in Topeka to participate in the annual Kansas Hospital Association Advocacy Day. The event is an opportunity to bring together hospital advocates and their elected officials to discuss the health care priorities of the KHA membership.

The day started with legislative presenters sharing their support for Kansas hospitals and their willingness to explore health care policies during the 2025 legislative session. The highlight of KHA Advocacy Day is the luncheon opportunity for Kansas hospital leaders to meet with their state elected officials. Several advocacy topics emphasized by the KHA membership revolved around ensuring financial viability, promoting health care workforce opportunities, protecting access to care, defending the integrity of the 340B program and reducing the administrative burdens imposed by health insurance organizations. While KHA Advocacy Day was an excellent opportunity to meet with our elected officials, it is vitally essential that Kansas hospital leaders continue to engage in advocacy efforts throughout the legislative session.
