Tuesday evening, well over 100 people came together, with around 40 of those being candidates, in Lenexa to discuss healthcare issues impacting Kansans and providers. A special thank you to the hosts of the event, Lakeview Village, who provided a beautiful venue, food, and drinks. While we are late into the election cycle to hold further events before the primary election across the state, if you would be interested in hosting a regional event in your area prior to the general election, please reach out to Kylee Childs
