New Health Reform Grant Fund Established

Five Kansas foundations are forming a $450,000 fund to help non-profit service organizations, health care providers – even cities, school districts and state agencies do the preliminary work necessary to compete for millions of dollars in federal health reform grants. And as Jim McLean of the KHI News Service reports, the person who has been hired to administer the fund will also work to ensure that consumers are represented in discussions about how the reform law is implemented in Kansas.
