If health challenges have made it difficult for you or a loved one to keep up with bills, United Way’s Critical Medical Needs program can step in to help.

Designed to prevent disconnection or restore services for those with serious health issues, the program ensures Kansas Citians stay connected to essential services — thanks to local partnerships with Evergy and Spire.
