Strategic Plans<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The United Methodist Health Ministry Fund sparks conversation and action to improve the health and wholeness of all Kansans \u2014 especially those in rural and under-served communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through funding programs and ideas, providing hands-on expertise, and convening partners, we advance innovative solutions to improve Kansans\u2019 health for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of our founding values, we continue to be dedicated to:
\u2022 Bringing philanthropy and Christian principles together to advance health
\u2022 Being a learning, responsive and innovative organization
\u2022 Working for social justice for all people
\u2022 Fostering environments of accomplishment and celebration
\u2022 Working to advance health and racial equity while reducing disparities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We focus our efforts on three strategic areas: Access to Care, Thriving Children, and Engaged Congregations & Communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through meetings, stakeholder interviews and research, the Health Fund re-examined the priorities we
had set in 2018, our successes, and where we could have the most impact on the health of all Kansans in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this process, we developed a strategic framework for 2023-26 that focuses on taking a systems-level approach to our three strategic focus areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Policy Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Health depends on more than health care. It\u2019s strongly influenced by a variety of factors, including the conditions in our communities, schools in our neighborhoods, the availability of healthy food and good jobs, and how close we are to hospitals and clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve long-term change and improve the health of all Kansans, we must change policies and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring policies and systems are optimized to support healthy Kansans and healthy communities over the long term is critically important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, we develop a policy agenda that aligns with our strategic priorities. This road map guides us as we engage in legislative and administrative advocacy, support and fund advocacy partners, and back research and communications efforts that can help achieve our mission of improving the health of all Kansans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
