The Community Health Foundation invests in the current and future healthcare professionals in our community to help improve health in Kay County. Healthcare professionals who are currently working in Kay County, who desire to attend educational courses that will aid in their professional practice, and who DO NOT have their continuing education courses paid for by their employer, may apply for reimbursement for continuing education. The Board may reimburse up to $850 per provider per year. Submitting an application does not guarantee reimbursement, and any reimbursement is solely at the discretion of the Board of the Community Health Foundation of Kay County. Healthcare professionals may apply for funds before taking the class and may receive approval for reimbursement, but reimbursement will not be provided until you submit a receipt for course enrollment and a certificate of completion. You must submit this documentation within 30 days of course completion for reimbursement to be issued.
