With this commitment, KVC Health Systems joins nearly 2,000 business and nonprofit organizations in committing to cultivate a trusting environment where all ideas are welcomed, and employees feel comfortable and empowered to have discussions about diversity and inclusion.

Sponsors and attendees raised a record-breaking $370,000 at KVC’s 2022 Gala to ensure children are safe and connected to a strong family and healthy community.

The event, live-streamed on YouTube this year, will include an update from KVC President and CEO Jason Hooper, stories of people whose lives have been changed by KVC services, and awards for heroes and partners.

By encouraging philanthropy, the KVC Foundation helps KVC’s local teams be agile and innovative in strengthening families, preventing child abuse and neglect, and helping both children and adults achieve mental health wellness.
