I was so happy to learn that Wichita Police Chief @Joe_p_Sullivan and @KikiRockChalk were able to discuss communication between the @WichitaPolice and the Hispanic/Latino community. Excited to include the Wichita Police Department in conversations with Alce su voz!

I woke up startled last night because I dreamed that I was trying to fit all of my tasks into an excel spreadsheet according to how many hours they would take, and I suddenly realized that I mistakenly budgeted 28 hours of work per day and that wouldn't work!

@UjuAnya The end piece

Kansas healthcare institutions often say they don't know how to pay for interpreting services. The answer, in my opinion, is to restructure the MCO system. Kansans have the chance to speak out about KanCare at hearings throughout the week. https://t.co/N3TEFgXU6p
