KANSAS UPDATES
LTC Provider Questionnaire on COVID-19 Surge Capacity
Deadline for completion: As soon as possible or by Friday, April 10
LeadingAge Kansas, Kansas Health Care Association and KACE strongly urge your organization (one person per organization) to complete this LTC Providers’ COVID-19 Surge Capacity Survey so that we have a picture of how providers across Kansas are preparing, and so we can bring information to the statewide emergency response conversation. Please contact debra@leadingagekansas.org if questions. (Note: if you receive this survey from more than one association, please just complete it once.)
