What We Do
Advancing Health Access. Empowering Education.
AcruxKC makes strategic investments in three key areas: short-term medical assistance to the underserved, health grants to schools and nonprofits, and support for medical education through scholarships and professional development. Our work reflects our commitment to a healthier Kansas City.
AccessKC Health Assistance
Helping Individuals Get the Care They Need
AccessKC facilitates access to care for underserved area residents by removing financial barriers. For individuals who qualify, AccessKC covers 100% of the cost of basic health services, including emergency dental care, prescriptions, eye exams and glasses, and other needs.
