HealthAccess has served over 17,000 low-income, uninsured residents of Topeka and Shawnee County since 2002. Since our beginning, our program goals remain the same: to increase access to health care, promote health equity, and to coordinate volunteer efforts on behalf of the entire medical community and safety net clinics in Shawnee County, Kansas.

HealthAccess was founded in 2002 by a group of physicians dedicated to improving access to health care in Topeka and Shawnee County.
