Our eighth episode, “Nonprofits Keeping Kentucky Healthy” hosted by Brian Simmons, features segments on Kosair Charities Face It campaign against child abuse and Kids Cancer Alliance’s summer camp, both in Louisville, Kentucky. We’ll visit the operating rooms of Lexington’s nationally recognized Surgery on Sunday and meet the volunteer doctors providing treatment to those in need around the state. We’ll travel to Hyden, Kentucky to learn about the midwifery programs at Frontier Nursing University. This episode will outline what it would be like without these critical health initiatives and how our communities can get involved.

Mission, History of Organization:
Over the years, they have expanded and created new programs to meet the needs of the families they serve. The Kids Cancer Alliance provides sibling and family programs, in-hospital and financial support, quarterly events and more. And thanks to their generous donors and volunteers, it’s all still absolutely free for everyone.
They want to provide children with a place where they can escape their illness and just be a kid again instead of a cancer patient.
