A new analysis from Kaiser Family Foundation found that nearly one in five Kansans do not have a personal physician. The findings highlight a growing challenge in primary care access nationwide, with Kansas ranking near the middle of all states for residents without a personal provider.

Having a personal physician is a vital step in maintaining long-term health and preventing serious illness. Establishing care helps ensure that medical needs are addressed early, medications are managed properly, and routine screenings are not overlooked.
