KC Health IQ aims to address real-time critical health issues in our community through partnerships and education. Our team strives to implement responsive strategies to meet the health needs of the diverse communities that we serve. We aim to reach socially disadvantaged groups through innovative community engagement and providing materials in multiple languages. 

KC Health IQ’s Goals:

  • Increase COVID-19 vaccination numbers in Kansas City 
  • Improve healthcare provider communications regarding COVID-19 with their patients
  • Strengthen health literacy in communities and organizations
  • Encourage organizations to communicate in clear, plain language
  • Promote community wellness through education 
  • Partner with community organizations to encourage health-focused events
  • Build community capacity through awareness and empowerment 
  • Advance health equity among diverse populations 

WHAT'S NEW:

  • We have new & updated COVID-19 health material and Mental Health material. If you would like some, please contact us and we can bring it to you. 
  • Our first video is now live! We also have it finished in many other languages.  

  

  • We are hosting our very first Women’s Wellness Fair next weekend. This event is as much a celebration as it is a health fair – by focusing this event on the needs of women, we hope both the fun and the resources offered will benefit our community.

    Our event will have health screenings, music, food trucks, games, health resources, and family activities such as yoga, aerobic dance, and art therapy. It will also include a panel discussion of women advocates to “Speak up for Your Health” here in Kansas City.

    This event is to honor women but will offer fun for everyone. Bring your families out to the Guadalupe Centers on Cesar Chavez Avenue next Saturday, October 22nd, from 11 am to 2 pm to join in! The first 50 entries will receive a free gift – so come early!
