Education and Outreach Services
Taking the mission to the people
There are several ways in which GraceMed reaches beyond our exam rooms and clinical care to serve the health and well-being of our communities. We do this because we know that many circumstances are challenging to overcome. Some of these hurdles might be financial; others might have more to do with where you live, and still, others might be simply a matter of not knowing how or where to get help. From social workers to dental hygienists to insurance Navigators, GraceMed has the professional teams with the training and compassionate hearts to reach out to you with the solutions you need.
Community Cares
Life can come undone in so many ways. Sometimes when it does, the consequences can be severe, and we find ourselves without a home or any way of rescuing ourselves from a life on the streets. GraceMed's Community Cares service is all about intervening in these seemingly hopeless circumstances to gather the resources that can help to recover the dignity and promise of lives lived on the very edge of the community.
ACA Insurance Navigators
The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has allowed millions of Americans to get health insurance coverage for themselves and their families. But applying and selecting the right plan for your family can be complicated. GraceMed's team of ACA Insurance Navigators is dedicated to helping our patients get the best coverage for their healthcare needs.
Dental Outreach Team
Taking care of our oral health is important throughout our lives, but it's especially critical for our children as their teeth are developing. Far too many children are going to school with oral health problems that can cause them pain and distract them from their classwork. Unfortunately many families are not able to get their kids the care they need. So GraceMed put together our Dental Outreach Team of hygienists who regularly visit schools in many Kansas communities to do cleanings and screenings and give kids some instruction in how to take care of their teeth.
Pregnancy Maintenance Initiative
Bringing a child into the world is perhaps the most amazing experience life can offer. But it is also one of its most important responsibilities. There's a lot you can do to make your pregnancy a safe, nurturing, and even more comfortable journey for you and your baby. GraceMed's Pregnancy Maintenance Initiative is designed to provide the prenatal care you need to get the most out of your pregnancy for you and your baby.
Healthy Kansas Kids
GraceMed works in partnership with KanCare to help parents access Medicaid coverage for their children through our Healthy Kansas Kids website. You can find a lot of information there about benefits, how to apply and where you can get assistance to sign your kids up, including dates and locations of community events at which representatives can help you get enrolled.
