KansasCOM Community Connections

KansasCOM’s campus was built from the renovation of two historic areas in downtown Wichita, and we take that foundation to heart. Wichita’s character and history influence our approach to health care education and fuel our desire to give back to the Wichita community. Through service-learning opportunities and increased medical, academic, and research opportunities KansasCOM has created, our students will have a variety of chances to reach out and connect with the Wichita community.
