Kansas State Capitol building located in Topeka, Kansas, USA.

The Kansas House will debate HB 2434 on the floor (February 25) starting at 11:00 a.m., and long-term care funding remains at risk of further cuts beyond those already made in House Appropriations. We need providers to speak up now and ask Representatives to hold the line and oppose any additional reductions to long-term care funding. 

It takes less than one minute to send the message. 

You may personalize the template, but even sending it as written makes an impact. A call guide is also available for those who prefer to contact their Representative by phone. Legislators need to hear directly from providers in their districts before floor debate begins. 

Thank you for advocating for Kansas older adults, caregivers, and the providers who serve them. 

Contact Your House Representative!
