NHCA

Northland Health Care Access (NHCA) connects people in the Kansas City Northland with health care and support services. Through community collaboration and advocacy, the organization helps residents who lack adequate access find primary care, specialty providers, behavioral health care, and care coordination. Its work responds to local needs, including residents experiencing poverty or inadequate health insurance.

NHCA offers several programs tailored to different circumstances. Healthy Families provides mothers and babies with supplies, while NorthlandCARE connects uninsured residents with health care providers. NorthlandCARE+ offers financial assistance associated with health care, and SeniorCARE supports the well-being of adults aged 60 and older. The organization also helps people access behavioral health services.

NHCA works with a network of health and community partners, including Beacon Mental Health, Platte County Health Department, Swope Health Services, Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, and Northland Health Alliance. Residents can seek help, and community members can support its mission through donations, fundraising events, funding partnerships, or employment opportunities. NHCA reports serving more than 3,000 Northland residents each year.
