Re: Kansas 2018 State Profile
Thanks for putting these together! There are a few corrections to be made. KPoP is organized by KCSL as the Prevent Child Abuse Chapter for Kansas in partnership with KDHE. Also, the link you have for the Midwest Trauma Training Center goes to a Medical Trauma training site for nurses. There are others we would love to add from across our great state - just let us know the best way to do that!
