Strength In Numbers
The work that KCHC does is incredibly rewarding and we know that it makes a difference in our communities. One way that we can acknowledge and appreciate the scope of what we do is through measuring our goals and accomplishments numerically. Here’s a more data-driven look at some of our achievements this past year.
Dental
Exceeded the clinical targets of unique clients served (target: 850, actual: 1080)
Community meals, outreach
68,774 meals served by Lionhearts at KCHC from April 6, 2020 to March 31, 2021
School Readiness

The Dental Team has been working in a very high-risk and demanding environment. Through incredible teamwork, dedication, communication, change management, and perseverance, the Dental Team has been able to adapt existing protocols and adopt new processes all while supporting each other and clients through the challenges of COVID. It is the team itself that brings me hope; their individual and collective character, determination, and commitment to client care and experience is what has provided, and continues to provide, the light.- KCHC Staff Member
