MVP’s commitment to the Kansas City health care workforce drives our strategy. We know that a workforce that reflects the community is critical for our community’s well-being and improving health in our metro area.
We serve students educated in health sciences and promote retention in the Kansas City healthcare workforce, Which means:
We ask, we listen. We hear from our students that some are first generation college students and may have experienced conditions such as:
generalized financial hardship and low intergenerational wealth
social isolation,
low or no access to mentors and sponsors who are familiar with health professions
housing and food insecurity
We co-design with students. We create programs that help students find solutions that buffer the conditions they experience. Solutions pave the way to better conditions and a sustainable career as a healthcare professional. Our programs offer solutions such as:
mentoring and networking
interactive professional development
wellness and stress management
financial literacy
We believe in the students in our community, and we honor their gifts, talents, and strengths by providing K-12 and post-secondary programing. We find practical ways to be supportive of those who choose healthcare professions in the Kansas City metro area.
