K-State 105 partnership with The University of Kansas Health System advances community health care in Phillips County

The K-State 105 initiative is bringing together several partners — Kansas State University, The University of Kansas Health System and Phillips County Health Systems — to support rural health care in Phillips County.


As part of this partnership, Phillips County Health Systems is serving as a pilot program for innovative health care solutions. The pilot program involves actively engaging community members in identifying and addressing community-specific health care priorities.

 

Through the K-State 105 initiative, Kansas State University and The University of Kansas Health System are working together to explore ways to support health care in rural Kansas communities. The partnership involves K-State Research and Extension and the Care Collaborative with The University of Kansas Health System.
