Kansas Hospital Association

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one-third of all adults in the United States have untreated tooth decay, or tooth caries, and one in seven adults aged 35 to 44 years old has periodontal (gum) disease. Given these serious health consequences, it is important to maintain good oral health. https://www.kansashealthmatters.org/indicators/index/view?indicatorId=75&localeTypeId=2

Big ideas. Great conversations. A tradeshow full of resources. And, of course, plenty of familiar faces. The KHA Annual Convention and Tradeshow returns Sept. 10-11, 2026, in Overland Park. https://kha-net.org/educationconventionts/convention/

As America marks its 250th anniversary this Fourth of July, we celebrate the strength and resilience of the communities that have shaped our nation. Hospitals have long been part of that story — caring for families, responding in times of crisis and standing ready when communities need them most. Kansas hospitals continue that legacy every day. The Kansas Hospital Association wishes everyone a safe and happy Independence Day!
