Make Kansas Healthy Again

MAHA Resource Page

As a doctor who delivered more than 5,000 babies in rural Kansas and a fifth-generation farm kid, Senator Marshall has spent his career fighting for the health of Kansas families — long before MAHA was a hashtag. From championing Kansas farmers and local food systems to leading on rural health care and nutrition policy in the Senate, Doc Marshall knows that healthy communities start with good food, clean air, open land, and access to a doctor. This page brings together resources for Kansans who want to live that out — whether you’re looking for a farmers’ market near you, free summer meals for your kids, or funding to improve nutrition in your community.
