We are so grateful to the WellSky interns for volunteering with Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care, one of our trusted partners! #volunteering #communitycare
On Friday, WellSky interns participated in their first Volunteer Day at Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care! They spent the day preparing baked goods and creating heart crafts for patients and their loved ones. Supporting nonprofits and giving back to the community is essential to WellSky teammates, and we're proud of the work they've done. Thank you to all of our interns! #VolunteerDay #CommunitySupport

Thank you, WellSky teammates, for volunteering last week with some of our grant recipients. We appreciate you!
Teammates participated in the WellSky Volunteer Day last week by attending organized volunteer events in Kansas City, Boston, Austin, Phoenix, and more! WellSky provides "volunteer time off" so teammates can support nonprofit organizations doing incredible work in their communities. A big thank you to all the teammates who contributed! #VolunteerDay #CommunitySupport

We are thrilled to share that our Executive Director, Brett Fuller, along with some WellSky teammates, recently served as judges for the Kids Feeding Kids recipe and cooking contest organized by one of our grant recipients, Pete's Garden. It was a tough job, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed meeting the talented young chefs and learning more about the program. And extra food was donated to the YMCA of Kansas City! We are proud to support such initiatives that positively impact our community. #KidsFeedingKids #CommunityImpact
