Leading Health: How You and 30,000 Kansans Help Communities Thrive - Hardcover

by Ed O'Malley (Author)

When you think about health, what comes up? Doctors and hospitals. Physical therapy and cancer screenings. Maybe exercise and diet.

In Leading Health, Ed O'Malley, the CEO of the Kansas Health Foundation, wants to expand your definition of Health. Did you know that voter participation, elementary school literacy rates, and broadband access are all predictors of community health and life expectancy? And did you know that Kansas' Health ranking among other U.S. states is dropping?

And if those broader societal measures matter than we all have a role to play in leading the efforts to improve Health in Kansas. Leading Health shows us how.
