Health & Wellness

Downtown Kansas City’s density allows for a concentration of resources and social services. Employees and residents have quick access to hospitals, urgent care centers, and health care. And nurtured by “social infrastructure” such as the Central Library, a new flagship YMCA, community centers, schools, grocery stores, and parks – Downtown generates lifesaving networks of social ties that combat isolation and build community.
