Part of our mission at CHFS is to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Kentuckians. For this reason, kynect resources was created as a one-stop-shop to reduce barriers for applicants while promoting a holistic approach to service for community partners.

Seth Butt is with the OATS Division of Eligibility Systems (DES), and part of the award-winning team that created kynect resources. In today’s episode, he describes why collaborating with a variety of organizations was essential in building a network of support to complement the services CHFS provides.

Accessible, affordable health care is a basic human right that everyone deserves. Thanks to OATS and our partners, we are committed to the health and well-being of this state. Over 4,000 referrals per month shows that kynect resources is working to keep Kentuckians safe, healthy and happy.
