Product overview

Community Health Council of Wyandotte County is a nonprofit community health organization that offers a portfolio of health-related programs and services rather than a traditional product. The organization operates as a hub for community health improvement through multiple interconnected programs: Community Health Workers serve as the direct service link between community members and health/social services; We Are Wyandotte addresses systemic health inequities through advocacy and civic engagement; Every Baby to 1 and Cradle Kansas City focus on maternal and infant health outcomes; Kansas Assistance Network provides insurance navigation; and the CHW Core Competency Training builds workforce capacity. Additional programs include CHCWe monthly giving and Community Connections events. The organization uses its website (wycohealth.com) built on Squarespace as the primary digital platform for program information, resource navigation, and community engagement.
