Jewel Westwood is a Kansas City resident, a practice administrator at a Head & Neck Surgery practice, and a doctoral candidate at Franklin University conducting IRB-approved dissertation research on how women in rural Kansas have successfully navigated healthcare access despite challenges like distance, cost, insurance gaps, and limited providers.

She has been working with the Finney County Health Department on her recruitment efforts and joined us for National Night Out this week to talk individually with potential respondents.

Jewel is looking for women 18+ in rural Kansas who are uninsured, underinsured, or on Medicaid/CHIP and have found a way to get care in the past two years despite real barriers.  A flyer with all pertinent information is attached in English and Spanish.  Please share this information with women you think might qualify for the research study.
