WSU VISTA - KanCare Ombudsman Resource - Wichita, KC Metro
 
 
 
The KanCare Ombudsman Volunteer Program will use a VISTA member to serve as the KanCare Ombudsman Resource VISTA in the Northern half of Kansas, based in Overland Park. The goal of the project is to improve the quality of life and access to Medicaid services for Medicaid eligible Kansas and Medicaid stakeholders. This project will assist in providing a healthier future for Medicaid members in Kansas through volunteers who identify resourceful contacts, organizations, and events to create collaboration which will increase office usage across Kansas. By accessing Medicaid services, individuals reduce their risk for homelessness and costly hospitalizations; they increase employability, stability in the community and overall health. The VISTA will build the capacity by assisting with the development, maintenance, and delivery of educational resources to KanCare Ombudsman staff, volunteers, and community stakeholders. As part of this project, VISTAs will also build capacity by seeking out potential outreach opportunities, events, and collaborative partners to increase the Office’s community awareness and assist more Medicaid stakeholders. The VISTA will benefit from having an interest in resource development, is organized with good analytical skills, has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is comfortable talking to new people, works independently, is a self-starter, and enjoys office work.
