Narcan saves lives. Access Matters.

These machines mean someone's life doesn't depend on timing, transportation, or shame. They mean help is close. They mean someone cared enough to put prevention into action.

We're proud to place Narcan vending machines across Kansas to expand access, reduce overdose deaths, and keep doors open to recovery.

Four babies. Half a foot of snow. One dedicated care team. ❄️👶👶👶👶

Over the weekend, the Birth and Women's Center helped welcome four newborns during the snowstorm. Each delivery was supported by care teams whose time, attention, and commitment made a difference for families during a busy weekend.

It wouldn't have been possible without the caregivers who were committed to being there for every moment. Congratulations to the families as they begin this new chapter together as the snow melts. 🌨️

🩸 A simple blood test can help find cancer risk early. That’s what genetic testing does.
🎗️ Via Christi's Cancer Outreach and Risk Assessment (CORA) team works with patients and families to find out and understand what their results mean.

🧬 Genetic testing can tell you:
-If you have certain genetic mutations, like BRCA1 or BRCA2, that increase the risk for breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, or colon cancers.
-Which screenings and treatment options can help you.
-If your children or family are at risk of developing similar cancers.

Finding cancer sooner, when it's most treatable, gives you the best outcome. Genetic testing can come with coverage if you qualify, and financial assistance plans are also offered.

The Via Christi CORA team will walk with you every step of the way, helping ensure your risk is managed through appointments and screenings. Knowing your risk not only better shapes your care plans, but gives you peace of mind.

📞 Call 785-776-2813 to get started.
