K-State, The University of Kansas Health System announce partnership to support rural health care and communities

Through the K-State 105 initiative, Kansas State University and The University of Kansas Health System announced in April that the two organizations are working together to explore ways to support health care in rural Kansas communities.

The partnership is a first-of-its-kind collaboration that brings together the land-grant mission and statewide presence of K-State through K-State Research and Extension with the expertise and experience of the state's only academic health system.

The program will start with pilot projects in areas still being determined through collaboration with communities and with K-State Research and Extension offices.

Learn more about the partnership.
