Please visit the new and very informative website of the Kansas Culture Change Coalition

The Kansas Culture Change Coalition is a group that provides support to long-term care organizations striving to develop systems that value the dignity of each individual who lives and works within their setting. It is an organization of diverse interest groups that combine their talents to effect change that is hard to do as individuals. The Kansas Culture Change Coalition maintains the vision of the Pioneer Network that supports a culture of aging that is life affirming, satisfying, humane, and meaningful. Culture Change can transform a "facility" into a "home, a "patient/resident" into a "person", and a "schedule" into a "choice".

Join Us on the Journey...

The Coalition had its inaugural meeting in September of 2004 where a group of providers, educational entities, state agencies and consultants came together to advance culture change in Kansas. Since this meeting, the group has worked toward becoming a central clearing house of information for Kansas nursing homes interested in advancing or beginning the journey of culture change in their organizations.
