Kansas Mennonites advocate for health care
by Western District ConferencePrint Article Email to a Friend
NEWTON, Kan.—Members of the Western District Conference (WDC) health and wellness task force spent March 12 at the capitol in Topeka to advocate for health-care policy reform in Kansas.
Twenty-three Mennonites from across the state learned about the legislative process, met with their respective senators and representatives and watched a committee “work” the health-care bills.
WDC is active in the Kansas Faith Alliance for Health Care Reform, an interfaith organization that promotes public policy that serves the citizens of Kansas with affordable, equitable and accessible health care.—Western District Conference
