Overview
The Wichita Business Coalition on Health is employers, providers, insurance companies, and other stakeholders who come together to address health care costs, quality, and access in our community. The Coalition provides the opportunity for the business and healthcare community in the greater Wichita region to come together in a collaborative model to work towards improved quality, decreased costs, and better health for the community. The Coalition is rooted in the work of Visioneering Wichita and the Health Alliance and has been created through the recognition among leaders in Wichita that by working together we can make health care better for everyone.
