Knowledge is power. Action is impact.

Did you know that over 38 million Americans live with diabetes, and 90–95% of them have Type 2? Even more staggering, 97 million adults have prediabetes, and most don’t know it.

This month, we’re raising awareness, promoting prevention, and supporting those impacted. Explore resources, toolkits, and ways to take action at www.diabetes.org/adm

Feel Good Friday 💜

At 22, Erika was diagnosed with Lupus and enrolled in Project Access, where a donating rheumatologist helped her manage her chronic condition. Today, she is 35, working full-time and covered by her own health insurance.

Six years ago, Erika was hired at the very pharmacy she once visited as a patient. The owner remembered her and offered her a job. Erika’s journey is filled with resilience and gratitude, and she credits Project Access for helping her reach this milestone.

Project Access has been incredibly fortunate to work with Dr. Jeanne Kroeker as our Medical Director for the past 15 years. Her expertise and thoughtful guidance have been instrumental in connecting our patients with the specialty care they need. With her deep medical knowledge and sharp clinical insight, Dr. Kroeker ensures each patient is matched with the right specialist while making a lasting impact on the lives of the uninsured in Sedgwick County.💕

Beyond her intelligence and professionalism, Dr. Kroeker brings a delightful wit and warmth that make her a joy to work with. We are deeply grateful for the time she dedicates to our patients and the steady support she offers our staff.

And if you need more proof of how dynamic she is, here’s a glimpse into her impressive background:
Dr. Kroeker earned her medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine – Wichita Campus, following a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from MIT, where she graduated in the top tenth percentile of her class. She completed her residency in internal medicine at KU School of Medicine – Wichita and went on to serve the Wichita community in solo private practice for over 13 years. Before joining Kansas Physician Group, she also worked in a multispecialty group for nearly two years.

Her leadership extends beyond the clinic, Dr. Kroeker has served on the boards of ProviDRs Care and the Medical Society of Sedgwick County, and contributed to committees at Wesley Medical Center and Via Christi, including roles as Medical Staff President and Internal Medicine Department Vice-Chair.

Outside of medicine, she enjoys cooking, swimming, and traveling, a well-rounded life that reflects the same energy and curiosity she brings to her work.👩‍🍳✈️🤿

Thank you, Dr. Kroeker, for your unwavering commitment to our mission and your compassionate care for our community.🤩
