MO-KAN Chapter

The MO-KAN SSWLHC Chapter has a long and proud history of social work leadership in the Kansas City area. The membership consists of social workers across the healthcare spectrum that lives and work in the Kansas City metro area. Our members represent both formal and informal leadership roles and we benefit from the practice wisdom of several retired health care practitioners. We value our partnerships with the local schools of social work and other professional associations. We strive to build a network of colleagues who share their knowledge, information, resources, best practices, advocacy interests and passion for the field of health care social work practice.
