Transforming Healthcare for Kansans

Top takeaways from the recent WBJ panel

Panelists sitting at a long table at the Wichita Business Journal event about Transforming healthcare for Kansans.
McCownGordon had the privilege of bringing together Kansas healthcare leaders to discuss critical issues and share forward-thinking strategies. In order to have a robust healthcare system in the future, the panelists challenged the broader business community to engage to help find solutions. These key takeaways include:
  1. Speak to your legislature: Voice your concerns for healthcare resources and the importance of prioritizing a solution.
  2. Encourage your children to explore a career in healthcare: This is a rewarding field with high demand and career flexibility, particularly nursing and imaging.
  3. Get involved in the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Coalition: From joining a task force committee to general resources, please visit https://mhsacoaliton.org.
  4. Support your employees: Evaluate the healthcare support you are able to provide to your employees and consider innovative ideas to assist them.
  5. Don’t limit possibilities: So much is possible in Kansas when we work together with a solution-oriented mindset. Keep collaborating.
Our commitment to fostering collaboration and community dialogue is a testament to our leadership in the healthcare industry and dedication to impactful projects.
