Save the Date: Understanding the Rise in Uninsured Children in Kansas

Save the Date!

Between 2022 and 2024, the rate of uninsured children in Kansas rose, a shift with real implications for families, health systems and communities across the state. Contributing factors during this period include the Medicaid unwinding process and rising family health insurance premiums.

KHI invites policymakers, advocates and media to a convening examining the data behind this trend, including where affected children live and their demographic characteristics, and what it means for the state. Expert panelists will present current research and discuss a range of policy responses and considerations.

🗓️Date: Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2026
🕘 Time: 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. CDT
📍 Location: Kansas Health Institute, Topeka, Kansas (virtual option available for the presentation portion)

Join us in person for the full experience. The morning session will be available both in person and online. In-person attendees are invited to stay for a working lunch focused on solutions, with facilitated table conversations on what’s being done, what’s working and where there’s room to do more. In-person seating is limited.

Registration will open soon! Mark your calendars and save the date.
