Who We Serve
JUNTOS is committed to advancing Latino health in rural and urban areas across the state of Kansas through community based participatory research and service. To this end, JUNTOS works in collaboration with community health organizations, faith-based organizations, health care agencies, educational institutions and policymakers.
