Our Story
About KPCHC:
Find all the care you need, under one roof! Konza Prairie Community Health Center and Dental Center (Konza) is a not-for-profit charitable organization and one of several hundred Community Health Centers partially funded by the federal government.
One of the chief objectives of Konza is to create a place where people want to come for their health care- removing barriers that hinder clients from obtaining the services they need. Konza services are available to all, regardless of race, creed, national origin, language, gender, or financial status. Because Konza receives federal financial support, qualifying patients are offered a sliding fee scale. The sliding scale makes health care affordable to people with or without insurance.
Konza’s integrated support system gives patients the complete network of care needed for health. Clients can access primary and preventive health care, dental services and mental health and substance abuse treatment provided in a compassionate, respectful, and professional manner. Convenient, routine, and same-day appointments make accessing care easier. Services include laboratory, radiology, and an immunization clinic onsite so patients don’t have to travel for routine lab work, x-rays, or vaccines. Konza facilities are staffed with high-quality dentists, physicians, mid-levels, and nurses, all of whom work together to offer patients the best care possible. Konza strives to help patients develop lasting relationships with providers, ensuring continuous, quality care.
Our History:
In 1994, Konza Prairie Community Health Center was formed to meet the unmet health care needs of the Junction City, Geary County, and surrounding areas. Konza is governed by a Board of Directors made up of local individuals, a majority of which are Konza clients.
Konza offers medical and dental services in both Junction City, KS and Manhattan, Kansas campuses, serving patients living in a five-county radius and continuously expanding services to more efficiently serve the greater Flint Hills region.
Payments, Insurance, and Medication:
Konza accepts most insurance plans including, but not limited to Blue Cross Blue Shield, Met Life, Medicaid, Medicare and Tri-Care. Konza also accepts clients with no insurance, ensuring access to care for all.
Konza has an on-site Affordable Care Act Navigator to assist the community with enrolling in health care for themselves and their families. Konza also has multiple staff to assist patients in starting care at Konza and determining if they qualify for programs like KanCare.
As part of the Low Cost Prescription Program, Konza is partnered with Walgreens, Walmart, and Kroger. Konza also provides a Medication Assistance Program in which the pharmacy works closely with patients, providers, and prescription drug manufacturers to assist patients in receiving lower-cost of free medication.
