***** LIFE
Project Announces Read about the exciting plans of the LIFE Project to work with strategic partners to develop the Kansas LIFE Center. We'll be offering presentations and engaging in dialogue to move forward with this vision. Our newest "Design for Change" publication is all about this vision. **** The
LIFE Project's initiatives to improve quality of life for seriously
ill Kansans focus on three important areas - public policy, public
engagement and professional education. Strength in these three areas,
LIFE believes, leads to quality of life for our citizens. Two of the
LIFE Project task groups have been busy the past six months working
to address public policy issues and assure that the needs and rights
of Kansas citizens are protected. Sincere thanks are given to all who work together to support these vulnerable Kansans. The LIFE Project is a collaborative effort and we welcome the partnership and sharing of all Kansans. ***** |
