Health care works best when organizations and communities move forward together. In a recent community health collaboration, KFMC worked alongside local partners to expand access to care for underserved residents, making it easier for families to get the services they need close to home.

By focusing on equity, access, and clear communication, our partners saw improved engagement and more people getting timely, appropriate care—not just once, but over time.

We’re excited to introduce you to Loretta Fitzgerald, our Infection Preventionist. She is one of the amazing team members making a difference at KFMC every day.

Loretta loves being part of KFMC because it gives her the chance to connect and collaborate with partners across Kansas. “Whether I’m identifying resources, doing research, or building new connections, those relationships make the work so rewarding,” she shared. She also appreciates KFMC’s family-first culture that helps her balance meaningful work with being there for her family and kids’ school events.

A project that really stands out for her is the Long-Term Care UTI Program Collaborative. This six-month initiative brought together nursing homes from across the state to improve UTI management and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use. Working closely with partners at KDHE, her team provided one-on-one coaching and data support that led to significant improvements across facilities. She stated that “seeing those measurable outcomes was incredibly rewarding.”

When she’s not working, you’ll find Loretta cheering at her kids’ sporting events, playing or coaching volleyball, gardening, or soaking up the sunshine. She jokes that while planning dinner can be a challenge, she can plan a full vacation in minutes, especially one with ocean views! 🌊☀️

Where technical excellence meets human-centered care. In one recent initiative, KFMC’s data analysts helped a provider identify patterns in emergency department use, while our quality improvement coaches listened closely to patients and staff about real-world barriers to care.

By combining data trends with lived experience, the team co-created a simple set of follow-up protocols and patient education tools that made care more accessible and less fragmented.

Share this post if you believe data should always be paired with the human story.

Behind every stronger health care system is a partner committed to shared success. Recently, KFMC collaborated with a hospital and community clinic team to co-design a quality improvement project focused on reducing preventable readmissions.

Together, we aligned data, frontline insights, and sustainable workflows, leaving the organization with practical tools and skills they continue to use long after the project ended.
