Thank you for highlighting post partum care!

Becoming a new mom brings so many new joys, and naturally, some new worries. Your health shouldn’t be one of them.

At AdventHealth Shawnee Mission and AdventHealth South Overland Park, we’re introducing a simple way to support moms after delivery. Starting this month, every new mom receives an orange wristband that helps care teams quickly recognize and respond to postpartum needs.

Whether you’re seen by your primary care provider, an EMT, or our birth teams, this added layer of awareness helps ensure you receive the attention, understanding, and care you deserve, every step of the way.

Kansas hospitals are more than care providers — they’re economic anchors for the communities they serve. By operating 24/7, hospitals support local jobs, attract businesses and retirees and strengthen the infrastructure that keeps communities thriving. A healthy Kansas economy starts with healthy communities — and that starts with well-supported hospitals.

With national studies showing 68 Kansas hospitals are at financial risk, the time to invest in our health care system is now. Kansas hospitals continue to face workforce and financial challenges, yet they remain essential employers and economic drivers in their communities. Supporting hospitals today helps ensure Kansans have access to care — and strong local economies — tomorrow. are attps:/chqpr.org/downloads/Rural_Hospitals_at_Risk_of_Closing.pdf
