KSHE News & Events
KSHE is pleased to be able to offer membership to all healthcare facilities in 2024 at no charge - Dues are waived this year! To ensure your facility takes part in this program and to become a member of KSHE, please have your Facilities Director/Supervisor/Manager fill out this form, scrolling to the bottom and selecting “Healthcare Facility” then “Continue.”
 
Healthcare Facility Memberships are for the facility and each facility may have multiple representatives. When a facility joins KSHE, a username and password will be created for the facility's primary point of contact. This username and password will be used once each year for membership renewal. During the membership registration process, this point of contact will also designate representatives from your facility and each representative will have an individual membership profile with a separate username and password. After the facility membership is processed you will receive an email with instructions for logging in.
 
If you have any questions concerning membership in KSHE or need assistance with your username or password, please contact us via email info@kshe.org or phone 844.625.1200.
