Mission and programs · 2024

• Charitable Care - The charitable care program - Wy Jo Care and Metro Care - procures donated specialty medical care and coordinates that care for uninsured individuals in the KC area. This program relies on donated healthcare services to execute its mission. The program facilitates the donation of healthcare services to individuals and does not receive or distribute goods or services. In 2024, the Kansas City Medical Society (KCMS) Foundation deepened its commitment to improving access to specialty care for uninsured and underserved individuals across the Kansas City metropolitan region. Through strong partnerships with hospitals, physician practices, imaging centers, laboratories, and other healthcare providers, the Foundation coordinated approximately 2,460 medical services for people unable to access health insurance who also have incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level. These medical services-ranging from diagnostic imaging and specialist consultations to surgeries and ongoing treatments-were provided entirely at no cost to the patient. Participating providers donate their time, expertise, equipment, and facilities, and report self-pay equivalent charges to document the value of care donated. Based on comparable trends from 2023, the estimated value of these donated services in 2024 is projected to exceed $9 million. For the people served, donated care directly translates into better health outcomes, restored ability to work, improved capacity to care for family members, and reduced risk of medical debt. Patients are spared the economic devastation that can result from untreated illness, emergency room reliance, or prolonged time away from work. For primary care clinics, connecting patients with timely specialty services and diagnostics allows providers to more effectively manage complex cases at the primary care level. This enhances the quality of care, reduces preventable complications, and helps clinics serve a larger patient population with confidence that follow-up care is available. For donating hospitals and providers, providing care in a planned, outpatient setting is a more cost-effective and clinically sound alternative to emergency or crisis-driven interventions. These contributions reduce uncompensated care costs, improve continuity of care, and allow hospitals and practices to invest in community health in a strategic and meaningful way. For the community, this model reduces the burden on emergency departments, increases the efficiency of the local health system, and fosters a healthier, more economically stable population. It also reinforces trust in the healthcare system, demonstrating that community partners can work together to meet critical health needs compassionately and effectively.

As filed on the 2024 return. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
