GEARY COUNTY -- POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY -- RILEY COUNTY
Thank you Theresa Bramlage (Tri-Chair of Quality of Place) and Bob Copple (Tri-Chair of Talent) for taking the initiative to pull our regional healthcare providers together to engage in meaningful conversation! The purpose of the Regional Healthcare Consortium is two-fold: 1) Host topic-specific forums throughout the year in each county and pulling in the appropriate groups. Some forums may be appropriate for the public, while others may be focused on a specific issue appropriate for healthcare providers. 2. Identify existing initiatives throughout the region and identify gaps that we could collectively work towards, not duplicating any existing efforts. The focus to-date have been centered around the following three areas of discussion.
- Reviewed Healthcare Input Collected from the 2019 Leaders Retreat
- Identified Mental Health as Topic for 1st Healthcare Forum
- Data Review & Information Sharing
-
- Overall Health Indicator Data Review
- Mental Health Statistics for Kansas & Impacts
- Existing Assets & Niche Opportunities
- Prior and Existing Mental Health Initiatives
- Education Institution Efforts
- Demands for Space, Resources & Advocacy
- Regulatory Challenges
