All plans begin with a mission.
The next steps become more complicated, but staying grounded in our mission helps keep our focus. This week I met with several community groups who want to develop partnerships to enhance our mission. One group sees us as the primary leader in the region to create and disseminate critical information on health outcomes. Another wants us to join a major master planning initiative to create a vital and vibrant community. Still another group recognizes KUMC's expertise in telecommunication systems and hopes to learn how to use it to improve public health.
