Kansas Disability & Health Program

The Kansas Disability & Health Program (DHP), funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aims to enhance the health and quality of life for Kansans with disabilities by improving access to vital health resources. Focused primarily on individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and those with mobility limitations, the program promotes healthy living through initiatives in oral health, nutrition, and physical health.

Recognizing that approximately 25% of the Kansas population has some form of disability, the DHP addresses significant health disparities and works to ensure that public health programs are inclusive and accessible. By providing necessary opportunities and support, the program strives to empower Kansans with disabilities to lead healthier, more active lives within their communities.
