The Multi-State Learning Collaborative III project (MLC-3) in Kansas is focusing upon regional quality improvement efforts to improve public health services. A grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, managed through a partnership of the Kansas Health Institute, the Kansas Association of Local Health Departments, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the University of Kansas Area Health Education Centers, has made this work possible.

This presentation, delivered during the National Network of Public Health Institutes' MLC-3 Open Forum, describes Kansas' experience in this project.
