Go Local Kansas (www.golocalkansas.org) allows consumers to find contact information for health care providers such as hospitals, county health departments, support groups, nursing homes, and community clinics. Users can search by location, type of facility, or a specific disease or condition. Information from all counties in Kansas will be available.
Governor Kathleen Sebelius signed a proclamation declaring January 29th, 2009, Go Local Kansas Day and encourages residents to visit the site “today and every day in 2009 to locate health resources in their community”.
Go Local Kansas is part of a statewide health information initiative encouraging Kansans to take charge of their health. Kansas Health Online (www.kansashealthonline.org) is a health information web site, which launched last year and is sponsored by the Kansas Health Policy Authority and developed by biomedical librarians at Dykes Library. It includes information on diseases and conditions, tools and tips to make healthy lifestyle decisions, and a guide to health policy in Kansas.
