KANSAS HEALTH CARE COMMISSION EMPLOYEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In January 2002, I began a three year appointment on the Kansas Health Care Commission Employee Advisory Committee. This committee reports to the State Health Care Commission. Employees wishing to share any concerns/suggestions/comments on state health benefit issues can send them to dmusick@oznet.ksu.edu . Please use EAC in the subject line. This committee is the official voice for state employees on all health care issues. I welcome any input. --Doug Musick
