Membership

Membership in Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved (KAMU) consists of organizations that are part of or support Kansas primary care safety net clinics. These include federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and FQHC Look-Alikes, state-funded primary care clinics, faith-based clinics, indigent clinics, local health departments providing primary care, and other non-profit primary care clinics.

There are three classes of membership:

  1. Organizational Membership is available to non-profit or public organizations that share the mission of KAMU and deliver primary and preventive health care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay, either by legal mandate or explicitly adopted mission. Each Organizational Member has one vote at meetings of the general membership.
  2. Associate Membership is available to non-profit or public organizations that deliver primary and preventive health care services that are not comprehensive in nature, regardless of the patient's ability to pay. Associate members are non-voting members.
  3. Individual Membership is available to persons that support the mission of KAMU and do not meet the eligibility requirements for an Organizational or Associate Membership. Individual members are non-voting members.

Service for these levels of membership are as follows:
