History

The mission of Vibrant Health is to provide access to respectful, empowering, culturally sensitive and appropriate high-quality health care for the community, regardless of socio-economic obstacles. We pursue this mission through the delivery of “whole” person care for children and adults. In addition to primary medical, dental, behavioral health, women’s health, and pharmacy services, Vibrant Health provides community outreach services, school-based preventative dental services, and school-based behavioral health services.

Since 1990, children and families in Kansas City, Kansas have relied on us for quality health care. That year, a small group of volunteer doctors founded Turner House Clinic to take care of uninsured children and mothers in one neighborhood. Over the past 8 years, we’ve expanded to better meet the health care needs of people of all ages in Wyandotte County. Our name – Vibrant Health – truly reflects our vision for healthier people and healthier communities.

Vibrant Health is an independent, registered 501c3 non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors. More than half of our board receives their (or their child’s) medical, dental, or behavioral health care services at Vibrant Health.

We welcome everyone as a patient and support patients with services like medical interpretation, prescription delivery, help with KanCare and marketplace insurance applications and connect them with other community resources.

The vast majority of our patients have an annual household income at or below the Federal Poverty Guidelines (for a family of 4, this is $31,200) and about one-third of our patients have no insurance.

Thanks to generous financial support, nearly 20,000 patients will receive life-changing care at a Vibrant Health clinic this year.
