Who Is WEPAC?In March of 2009, two hospitals and five rural, southwest Kansas communities of Wilmore, Englewood, Protection, Ashland and Coldwater banded together to form the WEPAC Alliance. In 2013 the board unanimously voted in favor of bringing in the final community in Clark county, Minneola, increasing the service coverage to all of Clark and Comanche counties. The WEPAC Alliance promotes womens health, cancer awareness and provides resources for preventative cancer screenings. What began as a simple fundraiser for breast cancer awareness and early detection grew into the Hoops for Hope weekend that has gained the attention of regional and national media.

WEPAC encourages women in their communities to take an active responsibility for their health by having their yearly well-women exams, mammograms and/or colonoscopies. The Ashland Health Center in Ashland, Kansas; Minneola District Hospital in Minneola, Kansas; and Comanche County Hospital in Coldwater, Kansas, collectively serve these communities.

This unique project is a model for other communities, across the country, showing the lack of size and/or

resources should not hinder them in making an impact, while taking care of their local citizens. With the state of the economy, it is easy to find reasons to complain or excuse low performance. These six rural Kansas communities decided to find solutions instead of excuses. The road has not been without challenges but we are determined to continue on.

WEPAC Alliance wants to thank those who have joined in their vision and have supported them in services. Since it began in 2009, WEPAC has assisted in 235 well woman checks, 700 mammograms, 25 ultra-sounds, 100 colon checks, 105 skin checks and several HPV vaccines. We added HPV vaccines in 2013 for both boys and girls and added skin checks for men in 2014. That screening assisted 11 individuals in Minneola, 13 (9 of which were men) in Ashland, and 71 (of which 37 were reffered on) between Wilmore, Protection and Coldwater.

We know there are more individuals in these communities who we need to reach. We need your help to spread the word and make a difference.

Mission StatementThe WEPAC Alliance is dedicated to providing resources and education to encourage women to take active responsibility for their health.

Being with Debbie during her fight with cancer has opened Breanna’s eyes and heart to all the obstacles the patient and family members endure. “I’ve never been more inspired to help people who are battling cancer, because I’ve seen the disease wreaking havoc first hand. It would be an honor to play in the WEPAC game to honor the fighters, survivors and the loved ones we have lost. Thank you for this opportunity and all you do and continue to do with this event!”

When asked why she should be selected to participate, she answered, “For several years I have watched and have dreamed of one day playing in the WEPAC game. Playing gives me an opportunity to represent my family, especially my Grandpa Terry, Grandma Schasteen and Aunt Trish, who all battled cancer. I can also represent my community and other young ladies. I would love the opportunity to play alongside some amazing basketball players that truly believe women’s health is important.”

When asked why she should be selected, she said, “Nine years ago I watched my sister play in the first WEPAC game, and I started looking forward

to playing. I have housed referees, sold t-shirts, cooked hamburgers, performed at half time with the Timberwolf and Diamond cheer teams, and

donated to the silent auction. Each year I see people donate freely of their time and show me that good can come even out of a hard situation. I

would be honored to be chosen to play in the game, and be part of such a special experience.”
