Today is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Today we mourn the loss of our neighbors and community members who have passed away while experiencing homelessness. Each one of them deserved safety, shelter, healthcare, and dignity.

Today, and always, let’s remember their humanity, their hopes, their dreams, their struggles, and keep fighting for health safety nets, low barrier shelters, and attainable housing so our unhoused neighbors have a better tomorrow. We will not let their lives be reduced to statistics.

Kimberly Weaver of We Are Wyandotte and WyCo Mutual Aid talking about the rebuild of McNewtons Community Center after the July Flood!

McNewtons Community Center is a valuable asset to the community: a space to warm up, eat, shower, laundry. It is needed now more than ever since the ‘No Camping’ oridinance in Wyandotte County has passed and is causing harm to our unhoused communities.

Community Health Council Works For Wyandotte County

Thanks to the tremendous work done by our staff, our board, our partners, and our community CHC has been able to achieve so much since its foundation. As part of that growth, and as we look to our future goals, we recognized that it was time to expand our mission. We will not only continue our work "to improve health and health care for the people of our community" but to further that mission, and continue to evolve. "The mission of the Community Health Council of Wyandotte County is to enhance health outcomes in Wyandotte County through informing, collaborating, aligning, mobilizing and activating organizations, government entities and community members." Over the years we have expanded our programs to include the Kansas Assisters Network, We Are Wyandotte and the H.E.A.T. Report, Community Health Worker Initiative, and Cradle KC. This work would not have been possible without our HEAT Community Action Boards and Support Teams, our neighborhood partners and associations, or without our strong network of partners and government collaborations.

We look forward to sharing our new growth and outreach plans, and working together with you, our community, and our partners, to continue enhancing health outcomes in Wyandotte County.
