Community Projects Completed by Children’s Mercy Residents
Residents in the global health track have led and organized several local, community projects in coordination with Kansas City organizations. These community projects and partnerships set a firm foundation for continued sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships between Children’s Mercy and the Kansas City community.
Some of the projects include:
